About Kitto Katsu: Mischief Island (Thomas Bell)

'An appointment in the dentist's chair: Lead and steel instead of lidocaine and titanium. Pliers not periodontal care. Was it going to hurt? You will curse the sorry day you were brought into this world.' Thomas Bell works for an ultra-secret branch of British Military Intelligence, MIX. A missing shipment of cocaine and a botched Interpol arrest at Schiphol airport almost scupper Bell's suicidal mission to interfere with an oriental superpower's pursuit of its territorial destiny. Bell ain't running as the mother of all typhoons blows. His third mission sees him performing a series of routine hits in Europe before heading to the Far East to carry out an assignment from which he may never return. The elusive narco-kingpin whose organisation monopolises production and distribution of synthetic hallucinogens, including fentanyl, across South East Asia is also on Bell's to-do list. The corpse count grows as Bell bludgeons opposition aside to achieve his objectives. All set against a backdrop of the US Navy 7th Fleet Carrier Group plying its way past the northern tip of Taiwan in transit to the Philippines, CIA dirty tricks, a J-Pop girl band with a Svengali manager and a wealthy sugar-mummy who enables Bell to hide in plain sight while kicking ass. The new Republican US President and his hawks are on it too, taking on the Chinese threat with the awesome might of the American military arsenal. Uncle Sam still has a trick or two up his sleeve. 'This tale of sex, drugs and murder is James Bond on acid' claims one critic. Kitto Katsu follows the tectonic shift in world power which is about to occur in the South China Sea.
