Hong Kong Beat

True Stories from One of the Last British Police Officers in Colonial Hong Kong

Ranked #72 in Hong Kong

Sex, drugs, gambling, ghosts, drinking, rugby, overseas adventures - and even some police work. Hong Kong on the edge of empire was a place teeming with triads, smugglers, Chinese immigrants and Vietnamese refugees. Simon's memoir of his time in the Hong Kong police force - from the 1970s until after the 1997 handover - is a fast-paced tale of his exploits. From the murky back streets of Kowloon to the open seas in the Marine division, his shocking and hilarious tales offer an alternative look back at what life was really like on the Hong Kong beat. less
