Thomas Burke se proslavil svými povídkami, které často zachycují život v chudinské londýnské čtvrti Limehouse. Jeho styl se vyznačuje pronikavým pozorováním a empatií k postavám, které obývají jeho literární svět. Mnoho jeho děl využívá postavu Quong Leea jako vypravěče, což dodává příběhům jedinečný pohled a hloubku. Burkeho próza vtahuje čtenáře do syrové reality a lidských osudů.
