A series of assassinations of Japanese businessmen, sailors, and officials has struck fear into the International Settlement, and the Chinese government is blaming communist insurgents. It doesn't take long for Douglas Bainbridge to get pulled into the political intrigue. When a friend of Doug's is arrested for the assassination of a Japanese secret agent, Doug is certain she didn’t do it. Since Chinese officials don’t seem to care about Wong Mei-ling's actual guilt or innocence, Doug and his girlfriend Lucy Kinzler take it upon themselves to find proof of the real killers, and save Wong Mei-ling from execution for a murder she didn’t commit. Book Two in the Death in Shanghai series, Assassin’s Hood is a traditional historical mystery, but with crossover appeal to fans of spy fiction, and gay & lesbian fiction.

Download or read book Videogames and Postcolonialism written by Souvik Mukherjee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the almost entirely neglected treatment of empire and colonialism in videogames. From its inception in the nineties, Game Studies has kept away from these issues despite the early popularity of videogame franchises such as Civilization and Age of Empire. This book examines the complex ways in which some videogames construct conceptions of spatiality, political systems, ethics and society that are often deeply imbued with colonialism. Moving beyond questions pertaining to European and American gaming cultures, this book addresses issues that relate to a global audience – including, especially, the millions who play videogames in the formerly colonised countries, seeking to make a timely intervention by creating a larger awareness of global cultural issues in videogame research. Addressing a major gap in Game Studies research, this book will connect to discourses of post-colonial theory at large and thereby, provide another entry-point for this new medium of digital communication into larger Humanities discourses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jade Dragon will take you on a journey to old Shanghai, where danger, excitement, and romance exist side by side. In 1935, Shanghai is the place to be. Glittering nightlife, bustling business, and a diverse international community are just some of the appeals of the “Paris of the Orient.” Douglas Bainbridge, Office of Naval Intelligence, is beginning a two-year immersion in Shanghai when he runs into Tim McIntyre, a childhood friend from San Francisco. Tim is a reporter for the Shanghai office of the Associated Press, and he offers to show Doug the local nightlife. While enjoying a show at The Jade Dragon, Tim never returns from intermission, and Doug finds Tim’s body in an alley. The police dismiss it as a robbery gone bad, but Doug knows there was more to it. Bystanders saw Tim arguing with a pair of men before walking away with them. Doug finds files in Tim’s office showing he was investigating Japanese infiltration of a Korean resistance group; and the notorious “Green Gang” that controls the opium trade in China, and has deep ties to General Chiang Kai-Shek himself. Tim’s friend and fellow reporter, Art “Jonesy” Jones goads Doug into solving Tim’s murder. But in Shanghai, danger lurks around every dark corner. The Jade Dragon is an upmarket historical mystery, with crossover appeal to fans of spy fiction, and gay & lesbian fiction.

Then the Bailiff offers him a chance to clear their names and start their lives anew.

It’s a deal that is too good to turn down—all they need to do is spy on the Queen of Canis Ludis, a powerful planet-state that has powerful influence over the Imperial Council.
