Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Fourteen of Hong Kong's finest authors explore the dark heart of the Pearl of the Orient in all original stories of depravity and despair. Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir.

Ng, Xu Xi, Marshall Moore, Brittani Sonnenberg, Tiffany Hawk, James Tam, Rhiannon Jenkins Tsang, Christina Liang, Feng Chi-shun, Charles Philipp Martin, Shannon Young, Shen Jian, Carmen Suen, and Ysabelle Cheung.
"Ng and Blumberg-Kason defy the fates by presenting a collection of 14 stores--by Chinese tradition, an ominous number--illustrating their city's dark side...Ng and Blumberg-Kason's Hong Kong is a city on the brink, haunted by its past but facing an uncertain future. Readers can feel lucky to have such a collection." -- Kirkus Reviews
