Seller's Description:
Fine. No spine crease. Full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 197 pages. An Inspector Wang Mystery, No. 3. When the body of a senior Beijing official is found floating in Hong Kong harbour, its wrists fastened with handcuffs, Inspector Wang of China's Criminal Investigation Department is sent to investigate. Against the backdrop of the impending handover of the colony, Wang sets out to unravel the links between the dead man, the Triads and the burgeoning trade in pirated software. Or is the murder more closely lined with the victim's personal life? As Wang works his way towards the truth, he is joined by his young wife Rosina, whose view of Hong Kong (as of many things) is very different to his own. His inquiries also bring him in contact with the departing colonialists-are they to be trusted? -and the world of computers and western youth culture. His search also begins to earn him powerful enemies, among whom are his superiors, who appear to want the truth hidden. Why? Death of a Red Mandarin's range of characters bring to life the real China, a country that is in the throes of change. They act out the drama of Hong Kong 1997-the new masters, the old colonialists, the busy streetwise people of the colony itself....
Besides Tony Hillerman's Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, I have not found a more likeable character than Inspector Wang. The Chinese setting is an exotic background for these intriguing mysteries.
