Description
When the sister of an Asian tycoon is found dead, can an unlikely consultant from China discover whether she was suicidal or died at the hands of another?
Forced from her flat by a nearby fire in Central London, Joyce Peng seeks refuge with her ex-girlfriend Tilly Wurman, a now-married pharmacist. And, when Joyce begins acting strangely, seemingly obsessed with methods of suicide, Tilly grows concerned. However, when Joyce winds up dead a few days later, her brother isn’t convinced that his sister’s state of mind led to her end.
Elsewhere, in a different London borough, Catherine Roxborough is settling in after returning from a year abroad in India. But her relief at returning is short-lived when a mysterious scarred figure attempts to break in, leaving Catherine in terror.
This isn’t an ordinary day’s work for M&A consultant Chance Yang, especially when his boss, Felipe Kazama, seems to know more about Joyce Peng’s death than he’s letting on, and personal feelings begin to cloud Chance’s judgement. And, as the reluctant fixer finds, the deeper he delves into the cases, the harder it becomes to uncover the truth.
