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. 650 0 $a Chen, Inspector (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police $z Shanghai $z Shanghai $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Undercover operations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Shanghai (China) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Qiu, Xiaolong, $d 1953- $t Inspector Chen novel ; $v 12. 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024228.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065044.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220302010658.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211216010025.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210930010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9F8DFDC21B311EC937DB3112BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
