A Death in China

A Death in China

An American investigates a murder amid the secrecy and corruption of China

Art history professor Tom Stratton hasn’t seen his former mentor David Wang for years—until they unexpectedly run into each other while Stratton is on a guided tour of China. But the reunion doesn’t last long. After Wang is found dead—and the American embassy fumbles the investigation—Stratton sets out to solve the mystery of the killing on his own.

Before long, he’s tangled in a web of corruption that reaches the highest seats of power. Beset by the suffocating secrecy and subterfuge of communist China, Stratton must find his friend’s murderer—before the fury of a brutal conspiracy closes in on him.

A terrific story . . . Montalbano and Hiaasen have brought it off splendidly.
– Time
Montalbano and Hiaasen have created a . . . maelstrom of intrigues, deceits, lusts, and canards. Like China itself, what often seems to be too implausible turns out to be real.
