With Hooligan, David Dodge introduces his last series character John Abraham Lincoln, a member of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Special Service Bureau, informally known as the “Hooligan Squad.” In the line of hooligan duty, Lincoln functions as bodyguard to certain American VIPs and institutions, among them the currency of the United States. It is this institution which sends Lincoln to Hong Kong. His mission is to stop Everett Fung, a Chinese financier believed to be working for the Communist government, from collecting $100,000,000 in U.S. dollars that have come to the colony as insurance settlements for damages caused by typhoon Xanthippe.
