Notes From An Even Smaller Island 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Print Of A Singapore Cult Classic PDF Download

Detective Inspector Stanley Low is having a really bad day. His bipolar condition is already ruining another therapy session when a sadistic sex murder-suicide at Singapore's most prestigious hotel plunges him back into a sordid underworld he was desperate to leave behind. He has no choice. Dead bodies at Marina Bay Sands are bad for business. They ask questions of a sanitized society no one is keen to answer. As the case spirals out of control, Inspector Low encounters a self-help celebrity couple, an expat CEO addicted to Asian women and an elusive foreign businessman playing pimp for exiled military generals . . . all thriving in Asia's cleanest city. None of them can get their story straight. As Inspector Low gets closer to the unpalatable truth, the search for the murderer races to a gripping, horrifying finish. An intelligent, thought-provoking novel, Marina Bay Sinsis Humphreys at his satirical best. 'Marina Bay Sinsis the crime novel Singapore's been waiting for. Neil Humphreys peels back the sheets to peer at the underbelly whose existence we affect to be unaware of, with prose that manages to be hard-boiled, honest and humorous, all at the same time. The book screams to be adapted into a TV series, but with its crackling Singlish dialogue and caustic insider jabs, you know our media companies and regulations will be incapable of doing justice to it. In the meantime, this potboiler - more potent than a cauldron of late-night bak kut teh- will deservedly shoot to the top of the bestsellers' lists.' Colin Goh, award-winning filmmaker & cartoonist 'Who knows a place better than a novelist unafraid to tell a true story? And so Neil Humphreys rides again - riding stuffy bureaucrats, unctuous hotel managers, irritable police inspectors and bipolar Singapore itself, overflowing with surface brilliance while hiding trouble beneath. Marina Bay Sins' irrepressible author of murder most foul is where Emile Zola meets Carl Hiaasen in a riotous romp on Southeast Asia's most prosperous country that's probably truer than nonfiction. It's definitely much, much funnier. Don't miss!' Tom Plate author of Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew
