Now one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of the Year
From Paul French, the New York Times bestselling author of Midnight in Peking--winner of both the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime and the CWA Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction--comes City of Devils, a rags-to-riches tale of two self-made men set against a backdrop of crime and vice in the sprawling badlands of Shanghai.Shanghai, 1930s: It was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, fascism and communism outrun, names invented, and fortunes made--and lost. "Lucky" Jack Riley was the most notorious of those outlaws. An ex-U.S. Navy boxing champion, he escaped from prison and rose to become the Slots King of Shanghai. "Dapper" Joe Farren--a Jewish boy who fled Vienna's ghetto--ruled the nightclubs. His chorus lines rivaled Ziegfeld's. In 1940, Lucky Jack and Dapper Joe bestrode the Shanghai Badlands like kings, while all around the Solitary Island was poverty, starvation, and war. They thought they ruled Shanghai, but the city had other ideas. This is the story of their rise to power, their downfall, and the trail of destruction left in their wake. Shanghai was their playground for a flickering few years, a city where for a fleeting moment even the wildest dreams could come true.

Luxury at an affordable price
Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Ivory (No Comforter)
This duvet cover is just lovely and super soft! Feels and looks like a luxury hotel and you cant beat the price for the quality! I was searching for a minimalist boho aesthetic so this is Just what i was looking for! I wish it came in a true white but the off white is close enough and i love that it’s organic cotton! It has ties not only in each corner but also in the top and bottom center so it stays extra secure and in place! Love love that it’s a hidden zipper instead of tedious buttons. I would definitely recommend 10/10. Incredibly easy to wash and dry. I also purchased the non organic version of this from the same brand so i could compare and it just wasn’t as soft so i went with this one!

Soft, but pricey, kinda shiny, and retains pet hair/lint
Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Olive Green (No Comforter), Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Olive Green (No Comforter)
So I’ll start by saying that I’ve bought many Bedsure products in the past. This one does not disappoint, but I also don’t feel like it’s 5 stars.
It washed well and feels nice. Overall it’s a great duvet cover, but there’s three things I don’t personally like:
1. The price. Compared to their other covers, this one seems steep (though it’s probably the material that makes it more expensive?).
2. The material is somewhat shiny. I wasn't expecting that, and I don’t dig it. I’ve never had a cover that shines like this one does.
3. Pet hair retention is especially noticeable on this darker duvet (see photo). I’m sure this is either the fabric or the weave that causes this.
For these three things, I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. That said, if you can snag this during a sale (and you don’t have pets or don’t mind hair clinging to the cover), go for it!

Yes, it’s organic cotton!
Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Ivory (No Comforter)
Yes, it’s organic cotton!
After buying two other “100 % organic cotton” duvet covers on Amazon that turned out to be polyester/blends, I was happy to find an honest company and product. The duvet cover washes well, had no detectable odor out of the package, and is a good weight. I love the hidden zipper closure and find that it gets softer with use. I hope the zipper stays intact with prolonged use and gentle wash cycle.
Note that I almost bought this in white but realized it’s a different material (bamboo) based on the product description. If you are looking at different colors, check the material carefully before buying.

I am 100% happy with this duvet set!
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 02 - Hotel Double Embroidery, Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 02 - Hotel Double Embroidery
Wow! I am very impressed with the quality of this duvet set. I love the design of the subtle black double Embroidery. I thought it was made very well unlike one other person said in their review. I find it elegant and luxurious to look at and feel. It’s very comfortable and I like 100% cotton. This is a thicker cotton but it’s cool for sleeping. It’s also not too stiff, unless you want that then you can easily iron it to be that way. I prefer it right out of the washer and dryer for a classy but cozy look! They are exactly like a set I’ve had my eye on in a fine linen store in Palm Beach. Exceptional value!
