True Crime

In this follow-up to his international bestseller Bali Raw, Malcolm Scott strips off the island's sunny veneer to reveal its dark and dirty underbelly. He takes us where no tourist guide will ever take us, into the nooks and crannies of Bali that only an insider knows of and can reach. We take a walk through the night streets of Kuta Beach to meet its wild and willing hookers, its dolled-up trannies and desperate school girls, and to discover first hand all the sexy and sleazy secrets that the island hides by the day. We creep through grimy alleyways awash with drugs and thugs and corrupt cops, and we hang out in seedy bars rampant with cheap booze and rowdy pimps and bloody fist fights. We sneak a peek into the private lives of shifty locals and wide-eyed Australian tourists, and enjoy a voyeur's view of the deceit, drama and everything else the island is afraid to show us. In yet another steamy expose of Bali and its sins and secrets, Bali Undercover tells you why the island is not paradise, but a paradise lost.
