Praise for The Princeling of Nanjing
"The reader is offered plenty of Ava in full flower as the Chinese-Canadian glamour puss who happens to be gay, whip smart, and unafraid of whatever dangers come her way." - Toronto Star
"Ava Lee has a new business, a new look, and, most important, a new Triad boss to appreciate her particular financial talents . . . We know that Ava will come up with a plan and Hamilton will come up with a twist." - Globe and Mail
Praise for the Ava Lee series and Ian Hamilton
"Whip smart, kick-butt heroine, mixed into a perfect combination of adventure and exotic location. Can't wait to see where Ava is off to next." - Taylor Stevens, author of the Vanessa Michael Monroe Series
"The only thing scarier than being ripped off for a few million bucks is being the guy who took it and having Ava Lee on your tail. If Hamilton's kick-ass accountant has your number, it's up." - Linwood Barclay
"A heck of a fun series, sharing Ian Fleming's penchant for intrigue and affinity for the finer things in life and featuring Ava Lee - a remarkable hero, a twenty-first century James Bond with real depth beneath her tough- as-nails exterior. Five stars and first class!" - Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals
"Ava Lee, that wily, wonderful hunter of nasty business brutes, is back in her best adventure ever . . . if you haven't yet discovered Ava Lee, start here." - Globe and Mail
"Slick, fast-moving escapism reminiscent of Ian Fleming." - Booklist
"A hugely original creation." - Irish Independent
"Crackling with suspense, intrigue, and danger, your fingers will be smoking from turning these pages. Don't ever, ever, mess with Ava Lee. She's not your average accountant." - Terry Fallis, author of The Best Laid Plans
