About this ebook
In this follow-up to his chart-topping "Bali Raw", Malcolm Scott strips off the island’s sunny veneer to reveal its dark and dirty underbelly, taking the reader where no tourist guide ever will. Take a walk through the night streets of Kuta Beach to meet its wild and willing hookers, its dolled-up trannies and desperate college girls, and discover first hand all the sexy and sleazy secrets that the island hides by day. Creep through grimy alleyways awash with drugs and thugs and corrupt cops, and hang out in seedy bars full of cheap booze, rowdy pimps and bloody fist fights. 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 exposé of Bali and its sins and secrets, Bali Undercover suggests why the island may no longer be paradise, but a paradise lost.

Bali Undercover is just as engrossing to read as its predecessor, Bali Raw. Unlike the first book on Bali by Malcolm Scott which focuses on his personal experiences, this book instead recounts events and incidents told to him by various expats and locals. There are cautionary tales, stories of heartbreak and tragedy, but also ones with happy endings. Divided into three segments, each focusing on a particular theme, from sex to deceit and corruption, the book is interesting and full of accounts that allow readers to gain a better understanding of Bali, regardless of whether they have visited the island before or not. However, as with the previous book, there are plenty of writing mistakes here too. Absence of punctuation, spelling mistakes, wrong use of vocabulary and grammatical errors show that there was little, if any, checking and editing of the manuscript.
