Review
`This is a delightful book, and interspersed among the cases are many perceptive and relevant observations on such matters as Chinese concepts of truth, justice, their attitude to foreigners, and the art of negotiation.' Richard Rigby, Asian Affairs
Synopsis
Unexpectedly appointed magistrate in a country district in Hong Kong, the Austin Coates found himself plunged into a Chinese world about which he knew next to nothing and had to learn as fast as possible. This he does, taking the reader with him through the errors, puzzles, and bafflements of sixteen court cases which came into his court.
