Read it:
Hong Kong, 1841 to 2026. A city founded in an opium war broke its own police syndicates in the 1970s and built the anti-corruption commission the world copies, then became a great conduit for other people's money. Between those facts: detectives never tried, a kidnapper executed across the border, a Chief Secretary convicted over a developer's payments, a former minister convicted in New York, a football club owner convicted of laundering, and a fire that killed 168 people in an estate whose renovation now faces manslaughter charges. Covers Peter Godber and the colonial police syndicates, the Sun Yee On triad society, Cheung Tze-keung, George Tan and the Carrian Group, Rafael Hui and Sun Hung Kai Properties, Patrick Ho and CEFC China Energy, and Carson Yeung and Birmingham City.
