Global Financier Pens High Stakes Thriller

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Archway Publishing announces the release of The Flying Dragon, the debut novel by global financier Georges Ugeux. The Flying Dragon is now available in hardcover, trade paper and eBook editions.

Celebrated non-fiction author Georges Ugeux delivers an intense, imaginative and intriguing financial thriller in his debut novel, The Flying Dragon. Set against the backdrop of the high-energy, high-tension world of global finance, The Flying Dragon plunges readers deep into a world where power, greed, money, and passion can intersect in a most dangerous way.

The Flying Dragon introduces protagonist Victoria Leung, a beautiful, brilliant, fearless, and highly accomplished financial fraud investigator. Responsible for taking down Sun Hung Kai Properties' Kwok Brothers, a real estate empire, Victoria not only established herself as a formidable talent, but earned the nickname "The Flying Dragon" in the process. When she leaves the fraud department of the Hong Kong Police, Victoria accepts a position as a senior detective at Pegasus, an international security firm based in London. The Pegasus job affords Victoria much-needed freedom, but that calm is shattered when Victoria receives an urgent message from her close friend Diana Yu. It seems Diana's ex- boyfriend Henry Chang is in danger. Henry's co-worker, Bertrand Wilmington, head of the derivative trading desk of a global bank, has fallen from a window of the twenty-second floor trading room. The Hong Kong Police Force quickly concludes that the death was a suicide, but is there more to this story than meets the eye? Henry Chang thinks so-and knows that if anyone can find answers, it's Victoria, the Flying Dragon herself. Hong Kong and Mainland authorities are unsuccessful in cracking the case, but Victoria uses her expertise to discover key clues. And Victoria, a dogged, tough, tenacious investigator, won't back down until she gets answers. As she races to piece together the puzzle of what really happened, Victoria is swept up in a world of danger, deception, and deadly consequences. Can she extricate herself from this perilous web of arrogance, power, money and greed? Will she expose the corruption and bring down a financial giant? Or will time run out? The clock is ticking....

A fresh, fast, fascinating financial thriller about power, betrayal, and murder, The Flying Dragon takes readers on a tour de force into the world of global finance. With its pulse-pounding plot, richly-developed, realistic characters and to-die-for Hong Kong setting, The Flying Dragon will leave readers breathless.
