- Book 3 of 3: THE BUND LAND SAGA —A Novel of Colonial Shanghai
It is 1912. The Qing Dynasty has fallen, and the International Settlement stands as an island of wealth amid the chaos of early Republican China. Edward Winter, once a debt-ridden young architect who gambled everything on a mud flat, is now a taipan of the Bund, a director of the Municipal Council, the master of a real estate empire, and the husband of the consul's daughter. For twenty-eight years he has carried a secret: an 1845 land deed that proves the very ground beneath his buildings was seized from a Chinese farmer by force and fraud.
Now the past is catching up with him.
Harold Perry, the ruthless old rival whose father committed that original crime, has returned to Shanghai with a British consortium and a determination to reclaim what he believes is his. Rising nationalism sweeps the streets, boycotts, strikes, and a generation of young Chinese who will no longer accept the foreigner's law. When Edward's own brother-in-law is arrested for protesting the privileges that built Edward's fortune, the architect-turned-tycoon faces a moral reckoning he has spent three decades avoiding.
The truth, when it comes, is worse than he imagined. An old servant's dying testimony reveals the full horror of 1845, a farmer dragged from his land, a hand forced to sign, a family erased from their own soil. The deed Edward has hidden in his safe is not merely a document of title. It is a confession.
In the hushed chamber of a Municipal Council hearing, Edward Winter must do the one thing no taipan has ever done: stand before the city he built and tell the truth. To expose Perry is to destroy himself. To remain silent is to become the thing he has always feared.
Dusk on the Bund is the sweeping final volume of The Bund Land Saga, an epic historical trilogy that traces the rise of Shanghai's most famous waterfront through the lives of those who built it and those it destroyed. From the mud flats of 1892 to the golden age of jazz and neon in the 1920s, from the Boxer Protocol to the May Fourth Movement, Edward Winter's journey is the story of a man who learned that every fortune carries a price, and that redemption is never free.
Drawn from meticulous research into Shanghai's colonial land records, the May Fourth Movement, and the twilight of foreign concessions, this character-driven novel will appeal to fans of James Clavell's Tai-Pan, Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies, and readers who love epic historical fiction about colonial Shanghai, the Republican era, and the burden of empire.
Praise for The Bund Land Saga:
"A richly detailed saga of ambition, betrayal, and the cost of building an empire on someone else's land."
