When a Filipino intelligence agent codenamed EX-8 is sent to Macau to investigate a missing informant, he stumbles into the gilded den of Zhi Ling Dao-a ruthless crime kingpin whose casino empire masks a global network of drugs, weapons, and human trafficking. With every move shadowed by danger and betrayal, EX-8 must navigate a city of neon lies and ancient secrets, forging uneasy alliances and playing a deadly game where trust is a luxury he can't afford.
As the body count rises and the clock ticks down, EX-8 must outwit hired killers, outplay foreign intelligence operators, and outmanoeuvre a beautiful survivor with motives of her own. But behind the glittering façade of Macau, the truth hides in plain sight-and to uncover it, EX-8 will have to risk everything.
From the smoky backrooms of casinos to rooftop sniper ambushes, this explosive thriller fuses sleek espionage with Southeast Asian grit-perfect for fans of Bond, Bourne and the Night Manager.
