Sinossi

Detective Inspector Stanley Low is having a bad day. His bipolar disorder is sabotaging yet another therapy session when two bodies are discovered at Marina Bay Sins, Singapore's most prestigious hotel: a murdered prostitute and a dead expatriate. Thrown back into the sordid underworld he desperately tried to escape, Low goes undercover in a city that refuses to acknowledge its dark side. Behind the gleaming facade of Asia's cleanest metropolis lies a corrupt world of gambling addiction, crime syndicates, international money laundering, immoral celebrities, and politicians on the take.  Belligerent, bipolar, and brilliant, Low is a Chinese-Singaporean detective educated in London, with a foot in both cities and a mission to eradicate violent crime wherever he finds it. As he closes in on the truth behind the Marina Bay murders, he'll force Singapore to confront the uncomfortable questions it's been avoiding for far too long.  Marina Bay Sins may be the sparkling embodiment of economic prosperity, but Low is about to expose the rot beneath the surface.

    The future isn’t real. The past isn’t real, either. Only the present is, solid and full, flying at our faces, our bodies, our hearts and souls at breakneck speed as we work to take it all in. As we work to protect others. And, finally - ourselves. We’ve started to break the bonds of Stateless, a system as rotten as the one it seeks to destroy. But systems are organisms with one brutal goal: to survive, whatever it takes. Kina has to do the unfathomable to save a different system, one she created out of empathy and love for children we rescued from the only home they know. She’ll use her mind, her body, her spirit — and her ultimate weapons: love, and — Me. Fateless is the final book in USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine's newest trilogy.

    Cameron Winter is troubled in heart and mind. He's plagued by memories of his time as a government operative investigating a notorious Turkish sex trafficker. The fact that the mission was left unfinished still haunts him and threatens to tear him apart. In the midst of his painful soul-searching, Winter crosses paths with an ex-flame—his first love—and the chance encounter ignites a passion he thought was long lost. But just as soon as she wanders back into Winter's life, the woman vanishes, leaving Winter scrambling to track her down. 
     
     
     
    His pursuit takes him deep into a world rent by partisan violence, where extremists clash and Winter sides with no one. As he faces his most dangerous case yet, victory might simply mean getting out alive.
