Alan B Pierce.

Alan B Pierce	Cheung Chau Dog Fanciers' Society "Alan Pierce's Cheung Chau Dog Fanciers' Society is a rare read indeed. Not only is it an accurate slice of Hong Kong life....but it also depicts a very local journey of self-discovery." Richard Cook Hongkong Standard "A pioneer, a groundbreaker...a real book. A writer [about Hong Kong] who actually wants to be someone other than James Clavell circa 1980. The book could be filed as an above-average crime novel, but that would not be doing justice to the potent depictions of island low-life that suffuse many of its pages." Liam Fitzpatrick Eastern Express
