Yellowthread Street books catalogue

3 items

The absurdist "Yellowthread Street" series is set in the fictional Hong Kong district of "Hong Bay" where DCI Feiffer and his team face some very curious crimes.  More

Yellowthread Street

William Marshall wrote 16 books about the Yellowthread Street police station, and when the series was adapted for TV in 1990, he also contributed to the scripts. The regular returning characters are Detective Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer, of European descent but born and raised in Hong Kong, the neurotic half-Chinese, half-Irish American Inspector Christopher O'Yee, and the always feuding duo Auden and Spencer.
The plots are bizarre events that push the boundaries of the 'Suspension of disbelief'. In "Thin Air" planes with dead - poisoned - passengers land and negotiations are conducted with the perpetrator while Spencer and Auden have fun in the sewers of Hong Kong where quite a few dead are also found. Of course there is a relationship between the two, but that only becomes clear after quite a few -stinky- detours.

William Marshall schreef 16 boeken over het Yellowthread Street politiebureau, en toen de serie in 1990 voor TV werd bewerkt werkte hij ook mee aan de scripts. De vaste terugkerende figuren zijn Detective Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer, van Europese afkomst maar wel geboren en getogen in Hong Kong, de neurotische half-Chinees, half-Iers Amerikaanse Inspecteur Christopher O'Yee, en het altijd ruziemakende duo Auden en Spencer.

De plots zijn bizarre gebeurtenissen die de grenzen van de 'Suspension of disbelief' opzoeken. In "Thin Air" landen er vliegtuigen met dode -vergiftigde - passagiers en wordt er met de dader onderhandeld terwijl Spencer en Auden zich vermaken in de riolen van Hong Kong waar eveneens behoorlijk wat doden worden aangetroffen. Uiteraard is er ene relatie tussen de twee maar die wordt pas na behoorlijk wat -stinkende- omwegen duidelijk.
