4.25

an action-y detective/police story told through 6 short stories going back in time. a very Hong Kong setting (and I appreciated the history and introduction to some of the setting through The Lost Century by Larissa Lai earlier this year). 

another one of those books where the author’s note/afterward made me appreciate the book more.
