City of Devils is a dynamic audiobook that will captivate listeners everywhere. Shanghai, 1930s; it was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, fascism and communism outrun, names invented, and fortunes made-and lost. "Lucky" Jack Riley was the most notorious of those outlaws. An ex-U.S. Navy boxing champion, he escaped from prison and rose to become the Slots King of Shanghai. "Dapper" Joe Farren-a Jewish boy who fled Vienna's ghetto-ruled the nightclubs. His chorus lines rivalled Ziegfeld's. In 1940, Lucky Jack and Dapper Joe bestrode the Shanghai Badlands like kings, while all around the Solitary Island was poverty, starvation, and war. They thought they ruled Shanghai, but the city had other ideas. This is the story of their rise to power, their downfall, and the trail of destruction left in their wake. Shanghai was their playground for a flickering few years, a city where for a fleeting moment even the wildest dreams could come true. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Farren, Joe,|d1893-1941. 600 10 Riley, Jack,|d1897- 650 0 Aliens|zChina|zShanghai|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Aliens|zChina|zShanghai|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 650 0 Aliens|zChina|zShanghai|xSocial conditions|y20th century. 650 0 Criminals|zChina|zShanghai|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Crime|zChina|zShanghai|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 Shanghai (China)|xHistory|y20th century. 700 1 Chan, Paul|c(Actor),|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12369191?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ mcm_9781427298454_180.jpeg
