Description
Hong Kong in 1970 was a city of contrasts. On one level, it was home to expatriates living in relative isolation; on another, to millions of Chinese residents struggling to improve their lives. But beneath the surface, corruption and crime thrived, affecting everyone's life through fear and intimidation. The Hong Kong police force played a crucial role in maintaining order, but they faced a daunting task. A young policeman from Merseyside joined the ranks of these brave men and women, bringing his own unique perspective to the challenges of policing in this volatile city. His story is one of gritty realism, revealing the dark underbelly of Hong Kong's society during that tumultuous time. This book offers a vivid account of life as a policeman in 1970s Hong Kong, with its complex web of crime, corruption, and social change.
