Constable Khang's Mysteries of Old Shanghai:
Old Shanghai of the late 1920s & 1930s, that “paradise for adventurers”, overflowing with old world prejudices, international intrigue, gangsters, high finance’s beasts of the bourse and assorted secret and magical societies, comes alive in these bicultural, broadly historically accurate, tales of a humble constable in the city’s Chinese police force attempting to do his job in an increasingly complex and dangerous environment.
While the adventures of Constable Khang are clearly fictional, we at Drowsy Emperor in our attempts to capture the look and feel of Shanghai in the late 1920s & 1930s, in all its political and cultural complexity, have extensively reviewed and drawn inspiration and direction from thousands of archival photos, as well as related artwork, historical records and histories of those tumultuous and intriguing times.
