About this listen

 Robin Ballantyne is investigating the murder of a British man in Beijing. Is his death linked to a recent series of brutal attacks on women? In a city thick with paranoia and corruption, Robin struggles to separate rumour from reality.

Meanwhile, Chinese private detective Song rescues a young boy from a fire on a building site. With witnesses appearing from the murky surrounds, bloody clothes on the ground but no body, and flames blazing around him, Song panics and flees, still clutching the boy.

From the smog of the capital to the poverty-stricken countryside, Song and Robin must unravel the truth before they find themselves silenced.

Ok story, some execution issues

Story is quite good.
So many loose ends not resolved!
Both key characters have purpose and reality, but somehow seem only partly credible.
China clichés and stereotyping. Western foreigner stereotyping too - how many can you tick of these in one book?
The audio quality is excellent and balanced throughout.
Of this audible release, the female reader was so annoying at times I was cursing out loud. Adding some ambient context with other sounds &/ or music without overwhelming the narrative could add a lot.
