The exotic port of Hong Kong in 1904...

This is the third instalment in the adventures of young American detective, Joseph Appeldoorn, and Miss Amelia Peachy, Edwardian actress and athlete, British secret agent, and mistress of disguise and intrigue. In this third episode, Joe and Miss Peachy encounter further dangers...

The time is March 1904. Following his momentous stay in Japan, Joseph Appeldoorn travels to Hong Kong on a business trip with his wife Eleanor, not knowing that the enticing British agent Amelia Peachy is also there too, and encountering as many dangers as ever...
