From Publishers Weekly
This hefty novel packs two grisly murders, a large cast of exotic characters, and settings that range from Connecticut to Indochina. Although the first two-thirds are entertaining, according to PW , afterwards Lustbader "succumbs to windy philosophizing; the foolish heroics and cardboard characterization become irritating; and a gory, melodramatic ending is overlong."

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The murderous search for the Prey Dauw is on--the trio of weapons so imbued with mythic power that it is said whoever possesses them can dominate Indochina and control its opium. Two men have aleady been murdered for the Pray Duaw, and now their brothers, New York lawyer, Chris Haye, and NYPD detective Steve Guarda, are ready to face the savage madman who will stop at nothing to destroy them.
