Produktbeschreibung
Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China - a city beset by mid-summer heat, rainstorms, and murder. Prosecutor Xu Ya of the People's Procuratorate is summoned in the middle of the night to the disturbing death of a famous and politically-connected businessman in Plum Tree Pagodas, a luxury apartment complex owned by the influential family Fu - and ordered to investigate with the utmost secrecy. Meanwhile, Philip Ye, a homicide detective with Chengdu Public Security Bureau, has just returned from an ill-tempered holiday in the U.K. to discover that his unhappy protégé, Constable Ma Meili, has, against his strict instructions, taken on the case of a vicious killing of a retired army general - a crime that intrigues Philip Ye so much that he adopts the investigation as his own. Little do Philip Ye and Prosecutor Xu know that their respective investigations will yet again set them on a collision course - and that the assassins of both the businessman and retired army general are still stalking the rainswept streets of Chengdu.
Autorenporträt
Graduating from the University of York with a (probably ill-advised) degree in Theoretical Physics, Laurence commenced upon a varied career in law enforcement and management consultancy. After a few years with Birmingham Trading Standards where he specialised in anti-competitive practices investigations, he led an investigation team for the software industry tasked with intellectual property enforcement across the United Kingdom as well as the provision of training in computer law and computer forensics to all UK law enforcement authorities and the military. In 2001, he set up his own management consultancy firm providing training and advice to both the public and private sectors on legal risk and information security. He regularly lectures at the University of Warwick on computer law and IP enforcement. He has had a long-standing fascination with the political, military, social and legal history of China. He lives just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon.
