The Master Of Rain by Tom Bradby
Shanghai, 1926 - an Imperial city, full of exiles, gun-runners and gangsters, where everything is for sale. For Richard Field, it is a place where anything seems possible. His first police assignment is the brutal murder of a young Russian, Lena Orlov, but he soon finds murky depths to the city.
"'A moody, murder mystery with all the style of a noir classic'" The Mirror "'Nigh on impossible to put down..This intelligent thriller brings Shanghai to life as Gorky Park did for Moscow'" Time Out "'Rich, dark, atmospheric, this fine novel captures time and place perfectly. A great crime story that ends up in a place you won't predict'" -- Lee Child "The atmosphere and menace of Twenties Shanghai is brought to vivid life as the backdrop to a gripping tale'" Daily Mail "'Master of Rain is that rare thing: a truly epic crime novel, brilliantly researched and superbly executed'" -- John Connolly
