The Lake Ching Murders by David Charles Rotenberg Pdf

"Possibly Zhong Fong is the only person in all of China who can completely decipher Lily's English, and he hasn't heard from her or anyone else in fifty-four months. His own English is excellent, but it has been that long since he had a use for it, fifty-four months since Shanghai Head of Special Investigations Zhong had been reduced to convicted political felon Zhong and exiled to the remote and barren north country, far from the crowded, bustling world he knew. There has been a mass murder, the victims all influential foreigners. In all the area, Zhong is the only investigator with the experience and knowledge to handle such an important case, the only one available who can possibly protect China's rulers from something far worse than worldwide embarrassment."--Jacket.

Inspector Chen and the Private Kitchen Murder by Qiu Xiaolong Pdf

Chen Cao has been removed from his chief inspector role, but that doesn’t stop him investigating a ‘private kitchen’ murder that has similarities to a Judge Dee story. No longer a chief inspector, Chen Cao finds himself as director of the Shanghai Judicial System Reform Office. To outsiders it’s a promotion, but Chen knows he’s being removed from the spotlight as he’s immediately placed on involuntary ‘convalescence leave’ to stop him interfering with any cases. However, with various high-profile crimes making headlines and fears escalating over vigilante reprisals, Chen’s superiors know he must at least appear active. One case revolves around Min Lihau, a mingyuan, who runs a ‘private kitchen’ for powerful figures in Shanghai. Min’s accused of murdering her assistant, yet Chen is struck by its similarities to a historic case involving the famous Judge Dee. When an acquaintance of his is murdered in connection with Min, Chen knows he can’t stand idly by . . . but he must act in secret, under the cover of writing a Judge Dee novel.
