"Alex Coverdale tells a compelling, revealing story. He hooks you right away, is fun and funny, and, seemingly, extremely honest. A thoroughly enjoyable read."

- Amazon customer.

After spending over five years in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hunan Province, Alex Coverdale leaves China to pursue his dream of writing for a magazine in London. At first it's everything he expected it to be; glamorous, eventful and fun-packed, and aside from rubbing shoulders with celebs and living the high life in England's capital, he enjoys decadent sojourns in Magaluf, Bordeaux and other European hotspots.

However, along with the booze-drenched, celebrity-schmoozing lifestyle came gambling addiction, a relapse into substance abuse, more heartbreak, office politics and industrial-scale duplicity as he slowly learns all that glitters certainly is not gold.

Through it all endures the pain of broken connections and a constant yearning for a return to the Middle Kingdom where he feels he has unfinished business.

Can he resist temptation? Let's face it, the signs aren't good.
