And Krispy Kreme has only scratched the surface of the U.S. market: it has a mere 226 stores...

...novel begins with the acerbic Dawn Stone, a self-described British "features hack," who takes a magazine job in Hong Kong during the heady days of 1995. Dawn fits in perfectly in Hong Kong's money-mad atmosphere, and Lanchester cuts loose, describing her rapid transformation from wry observer to gleeful participant to seductee, a metamorphosis that culminates when Dawn quits to do P.R. work for her shady billionaire Hong Kong boss.
