When Red is Black

Серия: "-"

When Inspector Chen Cao agrees to do a translation job for a Triad-connected businessman he is given a laptop, a'little secretary'to provide for his every need, medical care for his mother. There are, it seems, no strings attached... Then, a murder is reported: Chen is loath to shorten his working holiday, so Sergeant Yu is forced to take charge of the investigation. The victim, a middle-aged teacher, has been found dead in her tiny room in a converted multi-family house. Only a neighbour could have committed the crime, but there is no motive. It is only when Chen returns and starts to investigate the past that he finds answers. But by then, he has troubles of his own.

Qiu Xiaolong (zh-s|裘小龙, pronEng|tʃjuː ʃiaʊlɒŋ "cheeoh sheeao long" in English, born Shanghai, China, 1953) [http://www.mysteryreaders.org/athomeqiu.html Interview with Qiu Xiaolong] , Cara Black, Mystery Readers International] is an English language poet, crime novelist, critic, and academic, currently living in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife Wang Lijun and daughter Julia Qiu. He originally visited the United States in 1988 to write a book about T. S. Eliot, but following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 a newspaper reported on his previous fundraising efforts for Chinese students, and he was forced to remain in America to avoid persecution by the Communist Party of China.Citation | last = Allfree | first = Claire | title = Author interview: Qui Xiaolong - Refusing to join the Party | newspaper = Metro | pages = p.23 | year = 2007 | date = July 12 2007 ]

He has published several mystery novels, including "Death of a Red Heroine", which won the Anthony Award for best first novel in 2001, and "A Loyal Character Dancer". Both books featured Chief Inspector Chen Cao, a poetry-quoting cop with integrity.
