1st ed.
Description:
276 p. ; 25 cm.
Summary:
"The brutal murder of a young woman in a rural village in Northern
China
sends shockwaves all the way to Beijing--but seemingly only Inspector Lu Fei, living in exile in the
small
town, is interested in justice for the victim. Lu Fei is a graduate of
China
's top police college but he's been assigned to a sleepy backwater town in northern
China
, where almost nothing happens and the theft of a few chickens represents a major crime wave. That is until a young woman is found dead, her organs removed, and joss paper stuffed in her mouth. The CID in Beijing--headed by a rising political star--is on the case but in an increasingly authoritarian
China
, prosperity and political stability are far more important than solving the murder of an insignificant village girl. As such, the CID head is interested in pinning the crime on the first available suspect rather than wading into uncomfortable truths, leaving Lu Fei on his own. As Lu digs deeper into the gruesome murder, he finds himself facing old enemies and creating new ones in the form of local Communist Party bosses and corrupt business interests. Despite these rising obstacles, Lu remains determined to find the real killer, especially after he links the murder to other unsolved homicides. But the closer he gets to the heart of the mystery, the more he puts himself and his loved ones in danger."--From publisher.
