About the Author David Lang, a current resident of Hong Kong, has lived and worked in Asia much of his life. His deep understanding of Asian cultures and locales informs the writing of ‘The Witch of Wanchai,’ where unforgettable characters uncover layers of mystery in the underworlds of Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and Myanmar. Mr. Lang’s father and grandfather were fur traders living in Tianjin when the Japanese military invaded China in 1937. Their history, which was relayed to David over a lifetime of stories told over plates of herring and glasses of vodka, was the inspiration for his first book, ‘The Journal of Rabbi Levy Wang’, and was the foundation of his natural storytelling skills. http://.davidharrislang-books.com

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating! By Amazon Customer David Harris Lang's second novel, The Witch of Wanchai is a fascinating story that explores the illegal drug and jade trades in Asia, as well as the disappearances of several women. While the book is fiction, the author makes the story real not only through his characters, but also through his descriptions of the Asian landscape. An architect by trade, Lang has lived in Asia most of his life, and can describe the locale first-hand. When a body is discovered in a bar, Ian Hamilton, a Hong Kong detective, is in charge of solving the murder. While investigating he finds the murder is connected not only to missing women who answered employment ads, but also to the illegal jade and drug trades. Ian is not only in danger as he travels to Japan to further investigate, but his friends and family also find themselves in danger.The story has many twists and turns; readers will find that there are enough bad guys that it is impossible to guess the outcome of the story. The Witch is a character like no other; he is ruthless, corrupt, and also has a penchant for barbecued human ribs. Because law enforcement is after him, The Witch travels to other countries to expand his illegal businesses and in the process commits murders with absolutely no conscience. Although the scenarios are not overly violent, they are quite descriptive, and since cannibalism is anathema to most readers, it may be a little much for those with tender stomachs and younger readers. It does, however, villainize The Witch to a much higher level.The book does contain some minor editing errors, such as Khin Khin, referred at location 158 as Khim Khim, the word woman instead of women at location 95, Nosier instead of Noisier at Location 128, and others such as spaces, as well as a few punctuation errors. Hopefully these will be cleaned up, since the story is good enough to appeal to a large body of readers and has the potential to become a big seller.The Witch of Wanchai is not an easy book to put down. The cultural aspects, the characters, and the setting make the book very appealing, and for those who like good thrillers, albeit some violence, it is a very good read.Special thanks to Jenny Hudson of Merrimack Media for supplying a review copy of this book.

By Christine Lampert An exciting adventure that takes place throughout contemporary Asia with so many places that I know and other places that I probably don't want to be too familiar with. I would love to see this book made into a movie starring my favorite character, Angela Cheung who is a tattooed detective with the Hong Kong Police and whose father is a Hong Kong triad leader. I would love to read more about her in future novels. I am looking forward to the next book by David Harris Lang.

By meme@sf This novel will transport you from the jade mines of Myanmar to the shiny skyscrapers of Hong Kong, and many exotic places in between. The story is incredibly interesting and fascinating. Although not graphic, the novel touches on some non-mainstream subjects. I was fortunate enough to d/l during a free promo.
