East Hell: An Inspector Lok Novel

Eleven-thirty p.m. is the sweet spot. Sidewalk traffic has dwindled, yet enough stray sounds persist to mask a scuffle. In Hong Kong, that's as good as it gets.A vicious and methodical killer stalks the back alleys of Hong Kong. The victims are Chinese and Western, all from different walks of life, their faces marked with a terrifying signature wound. For Detective Inspector Herman Lok, the case is more than a midnight horror; it's a waking nightmare that mirrors the ghosts of his own past. To catch a vicious, calculating killer who slips through the city like smoke, Lok must navigate the shadows of a changing Hong Kong before the body count rises.Are the murders the result of some madman's deluded rage? Or does the killer have a very real and rational plan? In East Hell, Inspector Lok confronts the question: what is real and what is imaginary in this city where people fear ghosts more than the man who wields the knife?Hong Kong has its criminal underworld. But a deeper, darker underworld haunts the city as well.
