About this ebook

Exclusive bundle of books 7, 8, and 9 in the wildly popular series Ava Lee: The Triad Years.

This bundle includes:

In The King of Shanghai Ava is finally ready to begin her new life as a partner in the Three Sisters venture capital firm. Ava travels to Shanghai to hear a pitch on a new investment possibility and meets with the mysterious Xu, a young man Uncle had been mentoring and who is the head of the Triad in Shanghai. Xu makes an audacious business proposal that she and May Ling are compelled to consider. Against her will, Ava becomes enmeshed in Triad warfare and her future is threatened . . .

In The Princeling of Nanjing, Ava is in Shanghai for the launch of the PÖ clothing line. She has invited Xu, and over the course of the glitzy event and a late-night dinner, she detects a certain hesitancy in him. He confides that the Tsai family, headed by Tsai Lian, the governor of Jiangsu Province and a “princeling” is trying to force him and his Triad organization back into the drug business. Ava sets out to help Xu deter the Tsai family. As she digs into the breadth and depth of the family’s wealth and corruption, she gets caught up in a huge tangled web, extending all the way to the U.S. and the U.K., where it reaches the top echelons of political power.

In The Couturier of Milan, Ava attends London Fashion Week for the launch of the PÖ fashion line. The show is a success, but it attracts the attention of Dominic Ventola, the principal partner in the luxury fashion conglomerate VLG. VLG offers to buy the Three Sisters’ stake in PÖ. Ava and her partners decline. A few days later, PÖ comes under attack in the fashion media and a large part of their customer base is pressured by VLG to abandon them. Ava decides to strike back and turns to Xu for assistance, leading to a confrontation between two of the world’s biggest global crime syndicates: the Camorra and the Triad.

    This is another entertaining Ava Lee thriller which is set in some exotic locations, like Macau. It's a book that you will want to finish in one sitting. I found it tamer than some of the earlier books in the series; there's relatively little violence, though there's potential for a lot of it.Ava continues with her transition from a "debt collector" to an entrepreneur and investor. There always seems to be someone who wants to block her progress, in this case an Italian fashion house. When things get rough Ava responds in kind, much to the annoyance of the Italians, especially because she and her partners are women. On the personal side, Ava's relationships with Maria and the Chinese actress Fai are at their tipping points. Perhaps Ava will move away from Toronto if Maria is out of the picture, despite her mother living there.It looks as if series is going to continue to the next episode which will be set in the Philippines.
