      About This Book

      Mei Wang is a modern woman in a modernized city: her intuition and intellect have made her the first successful female private investigator in Beijing. But a case brought to her by a family friend—the search for a Han dynasty jade of great value—forces Mei to confront an ugly piece of modern China's past. It seems that the Eye of Jade was looted from a museum during the Cultural Revolution, and the hunt for the precious artifact draws Mei into this troubled period ... and into her family's dark secrets, long buried by history.

      The first novel in an exhilarating new detective series, now in paperback, The Eye of Jade is both a thrilling mystery and a sensual and fascinating journey through modern China.
