4 Photo: Lucy Cavender Midnight in Peking How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China Paul French Peking, January 1937. The Legation Quarter, home to wealthy foreigners, glitters with privilege, and scandal and gossip are currency. But as the Japanese are encircling Peking in an ever-tightening noose, the city is on edge. The murder of a beautiful young British woman, her body found brutally mutilated, sends shockwaves through the city. Who could commit such a crime? With the suspect list growing and clues sparse, two detectives—one British and one Chinese—race against the clock to solve the crime before the Japanese invade and Peking as they know it is gone forever. Seventy-five years later, historian and China expert Paul French introduces this dramatic crime to modern readers. PAul fRenCh lives in Shanghai, where he is a business advisor and analyst. He frequently comments on China for the English-speaking press around the world. French studied history, economics, and Mandarin at university and has an M.Phil. in economics from the University of Glasgow. “ Paul French wonderfully evokes [Peking] in that time and, amazingly, manages to bring some sense of closure to this long-forgotten mystery. This book is an instant true crime classic.” —David Peace, author of The Red Riding Quartet 9-Copy Floor Display with special header ISBN 978-0-14-750797-6 $234.00 ($247.50 CAN) Readers Guide available at penguin.com 10-City Author Tour National Radio Satellite Tour Online Publicity National Print Advertising Targeted Print Advertising Radio Advertising Online Advertising Academic and library Marketing
