Description
Death of a Red Heroine by Xiaolong Qiu is set against the backdrop of 1990s Shanghai, a city still under communist control despite the turmoil of Tiananmen Square. In this gripping mystery, Chief Inspector Chen finds himself torn between his duty to uphold the law and his own moral code. When a prominent Communist Party member's body is discovered, Chen is tasked with keeping the party authorities informed about every lead, while also covering up the murder of a young woman. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy him. With his job and reputation on the line, Chen must choose between conforming to the party's wishes or continuing his investigation. A tense and thought-provoking thriller, Death of a Red Heroine explores the complexities of life in a city where freedom is curtailed and dissent is not tolerated.
