AND BROTHER IT'S STARTING TO RAIN

If you’re going to fight, fight like you’re the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark.

And brother, it’s starting to rain.

Samuel Tay has retired from Singapore CID. He's no longer a police inspector. It wasn’t entirely his idea, but that’s another story. John August is a guy who has saved Tay’s butt more than once over the years. He’s an American who may or may not do something for the CIA.

Now August is here to collect on all those favors Tay owes him. He needs Tay’s help to investigate a murder.

‘Whose murder?’ Tay asks.

‘Mine,’ August tells him.
