Product Description
TRIAD: Complicated Shadows is the true story of the most dangerous and secret intelligence project undertaken in 1979 by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force at the behest of American and British governments. Concluding in 1987, for legal reasons it is a story that only now can be told.
In his fledgling career as a young police officer in England, Lewis Cowan thought he’d seen and done a lot. He’d been beaten, bitten, run-over, and stabbed; he’d nearly been pulled to his death by a suicide jumper, and attacked by a gun-toting ‘Mr Big’ and his Rottweiler dogs. However, for Lewis, nothing beat the moment in 1979 when offered a one-off opportunity to become a covert member of a small, elite, and top-secret intelligence unit that was behind the biggest and best Triad Society take-down, ever.
Complicated Shadows takes the reader into this amazing, dangerous, and enigmatic world of the dedicated team that hunted, in Lewis' words “the baddest band of bastard brothers in Southeast Asia”. Lewis was part of an exceptional team, a colourful cast of dedicated, unique characters; operatives who regularly and exceptionally went above and beyond the call of duty to take their target down. They shadowed serial killers, hit-men, and drug lords: they hung-out with psychopaths, sociopaths, and the otherwise dangerously deranged and unhinged.
Complicated Shadows is the story of a series of crafted operations and actions against one of the World’s most successful groups of organised criminals. The story reflects both sides - law enforcement and gangster. Lewis knew the lives of the people he tracked better than they knew each other. He knew where, when and what they liked to do, what their criminal forte was, who was planning to rob, beat-up and/or murder who, what for, and how they were going to do it. Even the most successful, fearless Chinese gangsters still had to face rivals, backstabbers, hit men, kidnappers and grasses while keeping their communications secure, finding suitable investments for their laundered money, and innovative ways to enjoy themselves. A part of Lewis could not help admire their innovation, cunning, drive, and tenacity. Nevertheless, their ruthless lifestyle eventually took its dastardly toll, including on Lewis.
Complicated Shadows has the ultimate stamp of authenticity; from the unfiltered gang behaviour and the vicious, unexpected moments of brutality, to the desperation and dedication of the best operatives Hong Kong and its affiliates had to offer. Shockingly, unwittingly, who was behind the assassination of JFK and the murder of Bruce Lee became clear as the operation progressed.
Complicated Shadows is the incredible, true story of the oddball individuals fighting on the frontline in a new war on Chinese organised crime. Its brutality and cunning will stay with the reader long after the book is switched-off. Top to learn more
