Book description
'The world will witness my despair . . .' In the heart of Beijing's
business district, a man throws himself off the top of a building. Tied
to an advertising hoarding on the roof, he leaves behind his dead and
frozen child. Having earlier rejected the man's plea for help, Beijing
private investigator Song has enough to deal with - Song's own
father-in-law, soon to be tried on corruption charges, is found dead.
Did he kill himself or was someone else involved? But Song cannot forget
the man and his frozen child. When he starts to investigate, he and his
team are drawn into a web of evil that extends from the scorching
Beijing summer to the slums of London. And in a country where justice is
often for sale, can Song discover the truth before it is buried for
good?
Catherine Sampson started her career in the BBC and has worked as
Beijing correspondent for The Times. She now lives in Beijing
with her husband and three children.
