SHE WAS THE MOST INFAMOUS WHORE ON THE CHINA COAST.

She was 'Singapore Kate' the most beautiful and notorious whore on the China coast. Rich men competed for, and boasted of, her favours. And for two decades she defied society, gloried in her sensual body and amassed a vast fortune. This is the true story - told in novel form - of a young, sheltered English girl who went to the Far East and was tricked into the oldest profession in the world.

Robert Standish, bestselling author of Elephant Walk, knew 'Singapore Kate' during the last years of her life. It was at her request that this story was written - a brilliant and graphic exposure of sin, corruption and vice.
