Taking him by the throat with one slender and long-fingered hand, she spat down into his upturned face before asking: “How does it feel to know you are now the property of a young Chinese woman?” In 1920's Paris, a redoubtable French detective and the English doctor who has been his lifelong friend take on a threat to world peace from a sadistic Chinese genius and his equally malevolent and perverted daughter. Their plans are evil, their methods extreme. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as this story moves from the Chinese mainland to Paris, then on to England and back again. For both detective and doctor, their futures lies in the interior of China itself, as they become the chattels of two very different women with one major common denominator — they both enjoy absolute control over the men they hold captive. For the victims of these sadistic females, it’s one horrifying nightmare! Yet, despite the evil they do, these helpless males can’t help but be infatuated.
