Murder in China Red Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Murder in China Red


A Chinese private detective from Beijing now living in New York City learns that a woman once loved is found murdered in a hotel room with another man. He uses his knowledge of the streets, his fists, and contacts, and his brains to track down the murderer(s). This is not a novel for those who love computer-solved crimes or forensics. It is a Chandleresque-type mystery and I loved it.
