Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai Police Bureau is summoned by an official of the Party to lead a highly charged corruption investigation.

In a twisting case that reunites him with his counterpart from the US Marshals service - Inspector Catherine Rohn - Chen must find a measure of justice in a corrupt, expedient world.… (altro)

Il quarto caso dell'Ispettore capo Chen Cao della polizia di Shanghai. I ratti in questione sono i funzionari del partito corrotti. Anche in questo caso il "giallo" è il colore di sfondo, ma ciò che si descrive è la nuova Cina con il suo capitalismo selvaggio camuffato da comunismo secondo la massima del presidente Deng Xiaoping: "Arricchirsi è glorioso!". Delizioso il linguaggio con continui riferimenti alla poesia cinese antica. ( )

Journey*
In memory of Mona van Duyn 1921-2004
Out of the train window, the gaping windows of the buildings are telling stories all along the line, about the past, the present, and the future. I am not the teller of the stories, nor the audience, simply passing through there, then, full of ignorance, so full of imagination.
The high tension cables outline the score of the evening.
Simply passing there, then -- "Next stop is Halle."
*I wrote the poem during a trip in Germany, looking out of the train window, when I was seized by an inexplicable sadness, and upon my return to the States, I learned about the death of my friend, Mona Van Duyn.
