When the body of a senior Beijing official is found floating in Hong Kong harbour, its wrists fastened with handcuffs, Inspector Wang Anzhuang of China's Public Security Bureau is sent to investigate. Against the backdrop of a colony preparing to lower the Union Jack for the first time, Wang sets out to unravel the links between the dead man, the Triads and the burgeoning trade in pirated software. Yet the possibility that the motive lies in the dead man's past in China cannot be ruled out.

Red Mandarin is both an intriguing mystery and a vivid portrait of modern China and Hong Kong coming to terms with their emerging identities.
