About the Author: In writing the Hong Kong Gambit Phillip Church draws on his extensive career as a Foreign Service Officer designing and implementing technical assistance programs in Central and South America, and in South and Southeast Asia. Today, he resides in Northern Virginia.

In “The Hong Kong Gambit,” the author aims to entertain readers with a gripping story as well as to enlighten them about the importance of knowing where they invest and how such awareness can help combat the global scourge of modern-day slavery.
