Suspense
Chief Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai Police Department
is in an unusual situation—a poet by training and
inclination, he was assigned by the party to the Police
Department after he graduated college, where he has
continued to shine. Now he’s a rising cadre in the party,
in line to take over the top politic position in the
police
department, while being one of most respected policeman in
the department. Which is why he’s brought in by the Party
to
sign off on the investigation into the death of Zhou Keng. Zhou Keng—a trusted princeling, son of a major party
member—was head of the Shanghai Housing Development
Committee when a number of his corrupt practices were
exposed on the internet. Removed from his position and
placed into extra-legal detention, Zhou apparently hanged
himself while under guard. While the Party is anxious to
have Zhou’s death declared a suicide, and for the renowned
Chief Inspector Chen to sign off on that conclusion, the
sequence of events don’t quite add up. Now Chen will have
to
decide what to do – investigate the death as a possible
homicide and risk angering unseen powerful people, or seek
the justice that his position requires him to strive for. Qiu Xiaolong's Enigma of China is one of Publishers
Weekly's
Best Mystery/Thriller Books of 2013
