Walter Woon: The Advocate's Devil (Book I), The Devil to Pay (Book II) & The Devil's Circle (Book III) [All paperback]

7/10/2022 – 24 views

Good condition The Advocate's Devil (Book I): Dennis Chiang is a stranger in his homeland. Just returned to the Straits Settlements after spending half his life in England, the young lawyer is thrown into the swirling brew that is colonial society in 1930s Singapore: a society of tuans and towkays, Babas and babus, where race is everything and even love cannot be wholly colour-blind. Juggling his career and personal responsibilities, Chiang encounters a life full of courtroom dramas, cultural prejudices and even communist intrigue. Never far away is Chiang’s mentor, the unflappable D’Almeida, who in public is a calm, efficient lawyer, but he possesses a shrewd investigative streak and uses unorthodox methods that result in his young protégé Chiang being caught up in a succession of captivating adventures. The Advocate’s Devil is the first of two books featuring the character Dennis Chiang. The Devil to Pay (Book II): Second book in Walter Woon's trilogy. With the onset of WWII, Dennis' life undergoes a shift - from lawyering to spying for the British. The gradual phasing out of the legal element reflects the displacement that many face during a war, and serves as a reminder of how disruptive war can be. The story also effectively portrays the undying faith that people had in the British to defend Singapore, and how that was crushed. It brought across the racism and underlying social tensions, and helped me understand why locals and the British believed that Singapore was an impregnable fortress. The Devil's Circle (Book III): The War is over, the Union Jack flies again over the Municipal Building. Life has come full circle. Or has it? The old certainties are gone and the British are not universally welcomed to take their former place. Malaya is in ferment and the day of reckoning has come for those who fought for the Japanese, with the Japanese and against the Japanese. The air is rife with suspicion and everyone’s loyalty is in question. Racial tensions run high and there’s no telling what will be the catalyst that will throw the country into disarray. Dennis Chiang and his friends are drawn into the chaotic world of post-war Singapore, where accounts must be settled and the colour of justice is not black and white but grey.
