This is the author's first venture in to fiction and it is thoroughly absorbing. The details about China and it’s history are fascinating as well as the characters being interesting and original. Mei Wang is the private detective hired to track down a Han dynasty jade that went missing years before, soon she finds herself more personally involved in the case than she expected. A delightful read.
Mei is a modern, independent Chinese woman; she runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator, owns a car, and even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary. One day, ‘Uncle’ Chen -- no relation but a close friend of her mother’s -- approaches Mei and asks her to find the Eye of Jade. A Han dynasty artefact of great value, the Eye of Jade was taken from a museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution, when Red Guards swarmed the streets.
