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.

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