In 1976, Peter Mann left a gloomy England for the last corner of the British empire: Hong Kong. As a police inspector, he commanded a sub-unit and led a district vice squad in Kowloon, before joining the colonial governments Administrative Service and working in the fields of transport, housing, security, environment and tourism. He also served as District Officer for Wan Chai. From raids on gambling dens to organising Governors visits, his work involved him in all levels of Hong Kong society. Manns memoir is an anecdotal, historical and racy account of Hong Kongs last decades as a British colony and the colourful story of a young Englishman in the twilight of empire.
