Hong Kong 97, a memoir of corruption
Corruption pays.
As a salesman working for an American publishing firm in Hong Kong during the late nineties Jake Stratton had it easy. His superiors were far away in New York, the local distributor colluded with him to embezzle funds, and he spent his idle days drinking and womanizing.
Then came the joint venture, and Stratton found himself with a fierce new boss, and racing to stay out of prison.
Hong Kong 97 explores the city's dark underside of sex, drugs, and corruption in the years immediately following the handover to China.
