Ava is based out of Toronto, but gets to globetrot in pursuit of missing money. The Cdn author Ian Hamilton is quite deft at providing the details that bring these exotic settings to life, as well as integrating those cultural tidbits that make you feel like you are getting a glimpse into another world.
So why not take a chance and place your bets on Ava Lee. Checkout The Water Rat of Wanchai (M) and The Disciple of Las Vegas (M).
