City Of Devils by Paul French
The Two Men Who Ruled the Underworld of Old Shanghai
An atmospheric account of 1930s Shanghai that plunges into the city’s criminal underworld, charting how ruthless gang bosses, corrupt officials, foreign concessions and organized vice—opium, gambling and prostitution—shaped a glittering but violent metropolis; the book traces the rise and rivalries of key figures, their alliances with political and business interests, and how crime, commerce and imperial tensions collided to transform Shanghai on the eve of war.
