It's January 1932 and Shanghai is about to explode. Private detective Jack Ford doesn't think things can get much worse, and then a young woman looking for a missing brother walks into his life. The search takes him from swank hotels and clubs through cabarets, back streets, and brothels, to the living hell of an urban battlefield. Rich and the poor, East and West, Chinese patriots and gangsters, Japanese militarists and thugs... A city of lost souls.

About the Author

A China expert and former senior executive with the CIA, Martin Petersen has written widely on Asia and national security issues, and City of Lost Souls is his first novel. He lives in the Texas Hill Country, where he pursues his hobby - collecting books, maps, articles, and ephemera about old Shanghai, almost 500 items - usually with a Bombay Saphire martini nearby. Straight up with a twist and not too dry.
