When a foreign worker is found dead in a Singapore back street, few people care. Even the police dismiss the killing as another underclass slaying. Then more victims turn up, all killed with the same weapon and Singapore must come to grips with its first serial killer in decades. The murderer must be stopped.
Neil Humphreys Bücher
Neil Humphreys ist ein britischer Humorist, dessen Schriften scharfe, oft selbstironische Beobachtungen über das Leben in Singapur bieten. Er zeichnet sich dadurch aus, die Nuancen der singapurischen Kultur aus der Perspektive eines Auswanderers einzufangen, der das lokale Leben und die Bräuche tiefgreifend angenommen hat. Seine Arbeit kontrastiert häufig westliche Expatriate-Gewohnheiten mit seiner eigenen Immersion in die täglichen Erfahrungen der Inselnation. Humphreys bietet eine witzige und nachvollziehbare Perspektive, durch die Leser die einzigartige soziale Landschaft Singapurs erkunden können.
Detective Inspector Stanley Low is having a bad day. His bipolar disorder is ruining another session with his psychiatrist, and when a murdered prostitute and a dead expatriate are discovered at Singapore's most prestigious hotel in the glamorous Marina Sins Bay, he is plunged back into the sordid underworld he was desperate to leave behind.
London is angry, divided, and obsessed with foreigners. A murdered Asian and some racist graffiti in Chinatown threaten to trigger a race war that the white supremacists of Make England Great Again have been hoping for. They just need a tipping point.
