Within the last days and nights of old Peking, where anything runs, can a murderer break free justice? Peking in 1937 is a heady mix of privilege and scandal, opulence and opium dens, rumors and superstition. The Japanese are encircling the city, and the finding of Pamela Werner's body sends a shiver through already anxious Peking. Could it be the work of any madman? One of the ruthless Japanese troops now surrounding the city? Or perhaps the dreaded fox spirits? While using suspect list growing and clues sparse, two detectives - one British and one Chinese - race against the clock to solve the crime prior to the Japanese invade and Peking as they know it is fully gone permanently. Can they find the killer in time, prior to the Japanese invade? Historian and China expert Paul People from france at last uncovers the reality behind this notorious murder, and offers a rare view of the last days and nights of colonial Peking.
