A murderer's confession - devastating, unblinking, poignant,
unforgettable - which reveals a story of class, education and the
inescapable workings of destiny.
Ah Hock is an ordinary, uneducated man born in a Malaysian
fishing village and now trying to make his way in a country that
promises riches and security to everyone, but delivers them only
to a chosen few. With Asian society changing around him, like
many he remains trapped in a world of poorly paid jobs that just
about allow him to keep his head above water but ultimately lead
him to murder a migrant worker from Bangladesh.
