Publisher's summary

In 1930s London, a young and promising detective Banks returns to Shanghai in order to find his missing parents. The once-bustling Shanghai of his happy childhood has since transformed into an unrecognizable city rife with danger and mystery. What awaits him there is a dark secret, a cruel truth, and the revelation that his memories may not be as reliable as they seem...

Kazuo Ishiguro is a Japanese-born British novelist, also known as one of "The Three Immigrants" in British literature, along with VS Naipaul and Salman Rushdie.
