When a foreign worker is found dead in a Singapore back street, nobody cares. The police dismiss it as just another underclass slaying until more victims appear, all killed with the same weapon. Singapore suddenly faces its first serial killer in decades, and the authorities are desperate. In desperation, they turn to the one man they despise almost as much as the killer himself: Detective Inspector Stanley Low. His career is in ruins, his bipolar disorder is barely under control, and he's as angry and unrepentant as ever. But he's also the only detective capable of understanding what drives this murderer. Racing against time, Low must navigate Singapore's stark income divide, where even death discriminates between rich and poor. He needs to solve the case quickly, stop a serial killer who's targeting the city's most vulnerable, and somehow hold onto his sanity. A dark, disturbing examination of inequality and injustice, Rich Kill Poor Kill reveals the brutal reality behind Singapore's economic miracle and asks uncomfortable questions about who matters—and who doesn't—in a society obsessed with wealth.
