China Wind is a dramatic mystery where the investigators must unravel the intrigue and rumour surrounding gun-running, corporate crime, disappearances and, of course, murder.

The author paints a remarkable picture of pre-handover Hong Kong – from the criminal underbelly right down to the gossip-network of household staff.

The accurate and detailed descriptions bring locations to life, such as the ‘the army of elderly women employed to clean the city’s public rubbish bins’ in Hong Kong that the policemen tap as sources.

It keeps you guessing to the end. Who are the real villains?

Each chapter is self-contained and beautifully illustrated with a picture alongside the title so it’s very easy to pick up wherever I left off.

I’d highly recommend it.
