About this ebook
Shanghai in the 1930s was one of the world's most dangerous cities, with kidnappings and murders asdaily occurrences. British police officer E. W. Peters of the Shanghai Municipal Policeleads the waydown the city's dark lanes and alleys, through a crime-ridden underworld of brothels, opium dens, and gambling parlors. This often riotous, true-crime chronicle is filled with colorful criminals, fumbled police raids, and gross misunderstandings, one of which lands the author on trial for murder. Here, old Shanghai is depictedat its most exciting.
