In Kuala Lumpur, a generous salary can buy your silence before you realise what you have agreed to.
Mei Lin leaves her family's farm in Yunnan determined to build a better life. With a promising restaurant job and her closest friend, Tak, already enjoying the city's glittering nightlife, she finally has a chance to earn more than she ever could at home.
But some questions make her employers uneasy. Some customers receive attention that has nothing to do with dinner. And Tak, who always seems to know someone worth knowing, is becoming strangely careful about what she says.
Then Mei notices something she was never meant to see.
She tells herself there must be an innocent explanation. She still needs the money. Besides, leaving would mean admitting that everyone who warned her had been right.
Dark Lights of Kuala Lumpur is a tense crime novel about ambition, friendship and the moment a welcome begins to feel like a warning.
How much would you overlook for the life you always wanted?
