FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 Singapores most prestigious hotel in the glamorous Marina Sins Bay, he is plunged back into the sordid underworld he was desperate to leave behind. Low goes undercover returning to a world that the city refuses to acknowledge; a world of gambling addiction, crime syndicates, international money launderers, immoral celebrities and corrupt politicians, all living in Asias cleanest metropolis. Marina Sins Bay may be the sparkling embodiment of the islands devotion to economic prosperity, yet a corrupt underworld lies within the Monaco of Asia. As Inspector Low gets closer to the unpalatable truth, he will demand answers to questions that society has chosen to ignore for too long.

Review Quote Praise for the series: This impressive police procedural paints an unflattering but authentic picture of the multiracial megacity. Mark Sanderson The Times Crime Club The author has a dismal view of modern Britain which might put off some readers - but his detective is a great character. The Sun Fast, tough and smart - this is crime fiction to die for. Tony Parsons Classic Raymond Chandler school with wonderfully evocative scenes of London and illuminating insights into modern, multi-racial, Britain. A real page-turner. Mihir Bose Bloody Foreigners inverts the trope of the troubled, world-weary Western policeman fighting triads and collusion in the far reaches of Britains erstwhile empire. One is left with the feeling that here its Britain, not Singapore, that is the exotic, quaintly run-down, third-world country. Asian Review of Books Description for Sales People First in the Inspector Low series US distribution began with third in the series, Bloody Foreigners , and now the first two are available as well Throughout his career, Singapores bestselling author Neil Humphreys has successfully mixed biting wit with pitch-black satire to highlight the hypocrisy that lies beneath Asias sanitized, swinging city. In both fiction and non-fiction, he has shone a light into Singapores darkest corners to create riveting stories that both captivate the reader and provoke the conscience. Now, in Marina Bay Sins , he has taken a parang to some of Asias most sacred cows. Stanley Low is a fascinating anti-hero: hes belligerent, uncouth, cynical, saddled with bipolar disorder and nostalgic for his undercover gangster alias Ah Lian Details ISBN1838340149 Author Neil Humphreys Pages 232 Publisher Muswell Press Series An Inspector Low Novel Year 2022 ISBN-10 1838340149 ISBN-13 9781838340148 Format Paperback Imprint Muswell Press Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2022-03-31 Publication Date 2022-03-31 UK Release Date 2022-03-31 DEWEY 823.92 Series Number 1 Audience General AU Release Date 2022-05-30 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
