Deep Night

Leah Kolbe's father, a dealer in antiquities, left the business to her when he died. Now the Japanese have occupied most of mainland China and threaten the British colony of Hong Kong where Leah lives. When they unexpectedly invade, her fiance becomes a prisoner of war, interned under the harshest conditions with the rest of the colonialists. She escapes to Macau, arriving there penniless after everything - including her shoes - has been stolen.
Leah finds a job at the British consulate and is accepted into local Portugese society. But when she is asked, she agrees to become a spy and to take a Japanese armaments manufacturer as a lover, putting her life in constant peril. The information that he reveals to her is valuable to the embattled Chinese and the American Air Force in Chungking.
Hoping that her fiance will be among the survivors of the brutal Japanese regime, she longs for the end of the war and with it, the end of moral compromises. But when it comes, will she find everything changed, including herself?
