The Advocate’s Devil
This book gives a peek into a world that has disappeared, of nyonyas and babas, oriental potentates, White Judges and Red anarchists. Fans of 1930s crime fiction authors such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers and those interested in legal stories will enjoy the intrigue and chuckle at the means, all legal, by which Dennis and his boss solve and win their cases. By virtue of its setting, the book also appeals to those interested in Singapore’s colonial history and the cultural and race relations that prevailed at that time.
