The Wanchai Chronicles Trilogy is a philosophical thriller about an American couple's fateful entanglement with the young girls struggling to survive in Hong Kong's red-light district. Author Svend Christiansen weaves the dueling journal entries of expatriates Karl and Kristin Haugaard into an unsettling exploration of the moral and spiritual contours of desire, and the paradoxical role it plays in driving our conflicting impulses towards both immortality and self-destruction.
