Trese

by Budjette Tan

When the sun sets in the city of Manila, don't you dare make a wrong turn and end up in that dimly-lit side of the metro, where Aswang run the most-wanted kidnapping rings, where Kapre are the kingpins of crime, and Engkantos slip through the cracks and steal your most precious possessions. When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Alexandra Trese.
