The Shanghai Assignment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230364818)

John Moore has had enough. After a career on New York's crime beat, he's enjoying semi-retirement in Vermont, writing up wire reports and hiking in the woods.

But when his former intern is murdered on the campus of Shanghai's Fudan University, Moore agrees to cover the investigation. As the killings spread, Moore follows a lead that takes him to the city's ambitious mayor, probes a controversial property development - and uncovers a political intrigue that could change China forever.
