Inhaltsangabe

New hardback from Edgar Award-nominee and Anthony Award-winner Xiaolong (Death of a Red Heroine) in which Inspector Chen's mentor in the Shanghai Police has assigned him to escort US Marshal Rohn on a mission to bring Wen, the wife of a witness in an important trial, back to the US. Rohn is already en route when Chen learns that Wen has unaccountably vanished from her village Fujian. Or is this just what he's supposed to believe? Torn between his orders and his ambitions, Chen must try once again to be a good cop, a good man, and a loyal Party member. A marvelously assured winner.
