Produktbeschreibung

Nathan Troy, an American freelance journalist, stumbles onto an unusual rash of rabies cases in Beijing, China. While translating for a french W.H.O doctor, Helene Laroque, sent to help contain the spread of the virus, he learns of the puzzling anomalies of the disease and how it is being dealt with by the local doctors. When Helene starts asking the wrong questions of the wrong people and gets sent home, Nathan is the last person left to find the answers.

Left to unravel the clues on his own, he uses the help of a German retiree and a couple of local nurses. He unravels a diabolical plan with mad scientists and vengeful government functionaries at its center. What started as a fairly simple virus turns into the means of a biological weapon that could deal with China's problem minorities in the west, (Xinjiang and Tibet) and which would ultimately change the face of humanity as we know it.

Autorenporträt

L. H. Draken writes Chinese Noir, exposing the dark side of humanities potential for evil amidst the daily drama of the people who make up a complicated country most outsiders know only from news stories and romanticized pop-culture. Draken grew up galavanting about the US. She learned to love the excitement of exploring new places and meeting quirky new characters but also developed the psychological condition of only being comfortable as an outsider. She applies these skills to her work, using experiences and cultural insights she gleans from people-watching and living overseas in the characters she writes.
