Singapore, 1939 A young Japanese woman is found dead on the dockside, her throat slashed. Inspector Max Betancourt is working a new beat, one he didn't ask for. Following the disappearance of his wife, his life and career have fallen apart. A distinctive tiger tattoo is the only clue to her identity. Once a rising star of Singapore CID, Betancourt has been relegated to the Marine Division, with tedious dockyard disputes and goods inspections among his new duties. Who is she? And why are the authorities turning a blind eye? But when a beautiful, unidentified Japanese woman is found murdered in the shadow of a warehouse owned by one of Singapore's most powerful families, Betancourt defies orders and pursues those responsible. What he discovers will bring him into conflict with powerful enemies, and force him to face his personal demons
