Mystery
Iraq War vet Ellie McEnroe has a pretty good life in
Beijing, representing the work of controversial dissident
Chinese artist Zhang Jianli. Even though Zhang’s mysterious
disappearance of over a year ago has her in the sights of
the Chinese authorities. Even though her Born-Again mother
has come for a visit and shows no signs of leaving. But when
her mom takes up with “that nice Mr. Zhou next door,” Ellie
decides that it’s time to get out of town—given her mother’s
past bad choices of men, no good can come of this.
An
old Army buddy, Dog Turner, gives her the perfect excuse.
His unstable brother Jason has disappeared in picturesque
Yangshuo, a famous tourist destination, and though Ellie
knows it’s a long shot, she agrees to try to find him. At
worst, she figures she’ll have a few days of fun in some
gorgeous scenery.
But her plans for a relaxing
vacation are immediately complicated when her mother and the
new boyfriend tag along. And as soon as she starts asking
questions about the missing Jason, Ellie realizes that she’s
stumbled into a dangerous conspiracy that may or may not
involve a sinister biotech company, eco-terrorists, an
art-obsessed Chinese billionaire and lots of cats—one that
will take her on a wild chase through some of China’s most
beautiful—and most surreal—places.
