City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir

`Shanghai`s champion storyteller – He grips his reader to the end` Economist`Gripping, breakneck ultra-noir reminiscent of vintage Ellroy` David Peace, author of Red or Dead`If you love Richard Lloyd Parry and David Grann, don`t miss City of Devils` Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me1930s Shanghai was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, oppression outrun, fortunes made – and lost. This is the story of `Lucky` Jack Riley, the Slot King of Shanghai, and `Dapper` Joe Farren, owner of the greatest clubs and casinos. It tells of their escape from American prisons and Vienna`s ghetto, their rise to power, and the trail of destruction they left in their wake. Shanghai was their playground for a flickering few years, a city where for a fleeting moment even the wildest dreams seemed possible.
