Sinopsis

“Ursula! I am glad to see you!” Julia Earle moved forward to the carriage door to greet the tall, well-dressed woman who stepped down on the platform of the tiny station of Ash in Surrey.
“Julia! This is nice!” They kissed affectionately, then the new arrival swung round to a second woman who had followed in the wake of the first.
“And Marjorie! My goodness, Marjorie,”—they also kissed—“when I remember the last time I saw you! I declare we haven’t met since Bolsover. How many years ago is that?”
“Don’t let’s think. You’re not much altered, Ursula. I should have known you easily.”
“Nor are you; wonderfully little.” She turned back to the first woman. “And how’s the world, Julia?”

In desperation, they turn to the one man they despise almost as much as the killer himself: Detective Inspector Stanley Low. His career is in ruins, his bipolar disorder is barely under control, and he's as angry and unrepentant as ever. But he's also the only detective capable of understanding what drives this murderer.

A dark, disturbing examination of inequality and injustice, Rich Kill Poor Kill reveals the brutal reality behind Singapore's economic miracle and asks uncomfortable questions about who matters—and who doesn't—in a society obsessed with wealth.
