Hot Poppies

Reggie Naylor's Hot Poppies (writing as Arrow) is a gripping exploration of the opium trade's dark underbelly in colonial Asia. Rich with historical detail and morally complex characters, this novel weaves together crime, corruption, and the human cost of addiction into a compelling narrative. Arrow crafts a world that's both exotic and unsettling, where nothing is quite as it seems. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric historical fiction with a noir edge and aren't afraid of the darker corners of empire.
