Summary
Manila provides the ideal, torrid setting for a Noir Series volume. Its where the rich rub shoulders with the poor, where five-star hotels coexist with squatter settlements, where religious zeal coexists with superstition, where hospitality might be another word for prostitution, where politics is often synonymous with celebrity and corruption.
