About the Book

From award-winning writer Chan Ho-Kei, The Borrowed tells the story of Kwan Chun-dok, a Hong Kong detective whose career spans fifty years of the territory's history.

About the Author :
Chan Ho-Kei was born and raised in Hong Kong. He has worked as software engineer, scriptwriter, game designer, and editor of comic magazines. His writing career started with the short story The Murder Case of Jack and the Beanstalk, which was short-listed for the Mystery Writers of Taiwan Award. He won the award the next year with The Locked Room of Bluebeard. His first novel, The Man Who Sold the World, won the Soji Shimada Mystery Award, the biggest mystery award in the Chinese-speaking world, and was published in five languages. P. J. Ochlan is an Audie Award-winning, multiple Earphones Award-winning, and Voice Arts Award-nominated narrator of hundreds of audiobooks. His acting career spans more than thirty years and has also included Broadway, the NY Shakespeare Festival under Joseph Papp, critically acclaimed feature films, and television series regular roles.

Review :
[Chan's] latest award-winning book is...likely to strike a chord. -- "South China Morning Post (Hong Kong)" An ambitious narrative brilliantly executed. It hands us the living history of Hong Kong through the gripping prism of crime and politics-told backwards. -- "John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8" Chan Ho-Kei's The Borrowed is full of surprises...A brilliant detective novel. -- "Wolf Hsu, Taiwanese novelist" Five decades of Hong Kong policing stand behind the wise Inspector Kwan as he helps his protege, Detective Lok, confound murderers. -- "Sunday Times (London)" Ho-Kei's English-language debut is a strong collection of classic mysteries driven by flawless deductive reasoning and thoughtful character development. -- "Booklist" The author's real goal is to tell a history of modern Hong Kong...As a 'social narrative' of the city, to use his phrase, the story is fascinating. -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
