Hong Kong. American journalist Paul and his Chinese girlfriend face a crisis.

A troubling letter arrives from mainland China from Christine s long lost brother and they feel compelled to come to his rescue. There they find a village in turmoil and his brother s life in disarray.

Their dangerous quest for justice begins set against a China beset by corrupt politicians, ruthless business interests where citizens, still in the long shadow of the Cultural Revolution have few rights in the face of an all-powerful system.

Sendker's world is rich and intense: his books weave together love story and crime thriller, the wisdom of Confucius and the thoughts of Mao, between the emotive West and the fatalistic, philosophical East. And above all a sense of deep, honest faith in the human spirit.
