Invisible Trade
» Sex Workers
Emily is a sex worker. She does not operate in the lorongs of Geylang but in luxury hotel rooms in the Orchard Road area. Her world is one the average Singaporean knows little about.
As a high-class social escort, Emily can earn up to $1,000 an hour for "extra" services. Her clients come from all over the world. What they have in common is money — lots of it – and an appetite for sex, often kinky sex.
Emily, and others like her, are featured in Singapore writer Gerrie Lim's book Invisible Trade, an insider look at "high-class sex for sale in Singapore", which will hit bookstores this weekend.

I think invisible Trade is a terrible potboiler. Makes me think of the Singapore ghost series and whatever about prostitutes.
