Explore the dark underbelly of nineteenthcentury Singapore's Chinatown and colonial district in this hardboiled historical thriller trilogy, comprising Singapore Black, Singapore Yellow and Singapore Red.

    First book of this author I read - nice and interesting criminal story developing on the background of 19th century Singapore.
    No deep philosophy or intricate plot twists, but a nice book to relax
