The Cocoon Bible

By Barrie Condon

AN INTER-GENERATIONAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN TWO GREAT POWERS

The conflict between China and the West is vividly told through the lives of four generations of a family of Chinese gangsters and spies.

Benny Hu is a man looking for a past. British born but orphaned, he is recruited by the UK security services. Tasked to combat a resurgent China in the Far East and Africa, he is also determined to find his mother, a Hong Kong film star in the 1970’s, who disappeared under mysterious and brutal circumstances. This journey of discovery links him to the gangster warlords of Shanghai in the early 1900s and the toxic interplay between the western world and China.

When the terrible toll this has taken on his family is revealed, he is left with a final, desperate decision.
