NEWLY IN PAPERBACK THE FINALE TO THIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED THRILLER SERIES
Lisa Brackmann again shines the spotlight on a major cultural issue: the class disparity and rampant materialism that have come to dominate the Chinese metropolis.
Ellie McEnroe is an Iraq War vet living in Beijing, where she represents the work of cutting-edge Chinese political artists. She has one bum leg, an evangelical mother, a sweet-tempered rescue mutt for a roommate and a taste for beer and dumplings. She also has Chinese Domestic Security on her tail and a dwindling number of anxiety meds to get her through her bad days.
And she's about to have some bad days. The immensely powerful - and occasionally homicidal - Shanghai billionaire Sidney Cao has asked Ellie to investigate Marsh Brody, his son's suspicious new American business partner. Ellie knows she can't refuse, for a variety of reasons. So she agrees to take on Sidney's recon mission under the pretence of creating a museum with his priceless art collection.
Ellie is grudgingly swept up into the elite social circles of Sidney's three children, the debauched Guwei, rebellious Meimei and social climber Tiantian. The mission is a nuisance, but a harmless one, until a waitress is murdered at one of Tiantian's parties and the investigating detective pinpoints Ellie as the prime suspect. With the sometimes-helpful companionship of 'Creepy John', an old friend and stalker who is maybe a government secret agent, she traces a thin thread of evidence back to the killer, unearthing several Cao family secrets along the way.
