´Reads like a thriller you can´t put down´ - Megha Rajagopalan, China Bureau Chief, Buzzfeed News



´ensures you´ll never think about Southeast Asia in the same way ever again.´ - Geographical Magazine



Essential to understanding Southeast Asia in the 21st century, Hello, Shadowlands reveals a booming underworld of organised crime across a region in flux- a $100 billion trade that deals in narcotics, animals and people -and the staggering human toll that is being steadily ignored by the West.



From Myanmar´s anarchic hills to the swamplands of Vietnam, jihadis are being pitted against brothel workers, pet thieves against vigilantes and meth barons against Christian vice squads.



Hello, Shadowlands takes a deep plunge into crime rings both large and small. It also examines how China´s rise and America´s decline is creating new opportunities for transnational syndicates to thrive.




Focusing on human stories on both sides of this crime wave, the acclaimed Bangkok-based broadcaster and journalist Patrick Winn intimately profiles the men and women of the region who are forced to make agonizing choices in the absence of law.
