An American investigates a murder amid the secrecy and corruption of China in this crime thriller from the New York Timesâbestselling author of Razor Girl. Art history professor Tom Stratton hasnât seen his former mentor David Wang for yearsâuntil they unexpectedly run into each other while Stratton is on a guided tour of China. But the reunion doesnât last long. After Wang is found deadâand the American embassy fumbles the investigationâStratton sets out to solve the mystery of the killing on his own. Before long, heâs tangled in a web of corruption that reaches the highest seats of power. Beset by the suffocating secrecy and subterfuge of communist China, Stratton must find his friendâs murdererâbefore the fury of a brutal conspiracy closes in on him. Along with Powder Burn and Trap Line, this international mystery is one of the early suspense thrillers written by Carl Hiaasen and Bill Montalbano, a writing team praised for their âfine flair for characters and settingsâ (Library Journal).
