Lee and Ma Mysteries

S. J. Rozan

In 1924 London, the murder of a Chinese student draws retired detective John Shen Yen Nee into the city’s fog-shrouded underworld, where prejudice, political intrigue, and hidden loyalties complicate the search for the truth. Joined by an unlikely companion, Shen must navigate coded messages, dangerous criminals, and the rigid expectations of both British and Chinese communities. Blending classic Golden Age mystery with vivid historical detail and the witty energy of a buddy adventure, this atmospheric investigation explores friendship, identity, and the uneasy meeting of cultures.
