Description

Shanghai 1927 - a city of contrasts, where poverty and luxury coexist in a swirl of jazz clubs, film stars, and opium dens. For Michael Gallagher, an Irish cop turned Shanghai Municipal Police officer, this is a city of opportunity and danger. As he navigates the treacherous underworld of Big Ears Lu, a philanthropist with a dark secret, and falls for the beautiful courtesan Miriam Tsai, Michael must confront his own demons and the corrupting influence of the city. Will he remain uncorrupted, or will Shanghai's turbulence consume him? A superbly researched and deftly written novel that seethes with 20th Century tension, Gangsters of Shanghai is a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and survival in one of history's most fascinating cities.
