Description
When private investigator Mei Wang is asked to locate a valuable jade pendant, the case draws her into the hidden histories and unresolved tensions of modern Beijing. What begins as a search for a missing artifact soon leads through layers of family secrets, political memory, and the lingering effects of China’s Cultural Revolution. Set against a city undergoing rapid social and economic change, this atmospheric mystery explores identity, loyalty, and the uneasy relationship between the past and the present. With its vivid sense of place and thoughtful portrait of contemporary China, the novel offers both an absorbing investigation and a compelling character study.
