Summary: Inspector Singh is on a mission to China, against his better judgement. The son of a bigwig at the Singapore Embassy has been bludgeoned to death in a back alley in Beijing. Chinese security insist that he was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but the young man's mother demands that Singapore's finest (in his own opinion) rides to the rescue. But solving a murder in a country that practices socialism 'with Chinese characteristics' is a dangerous business. And it soon becomes apparent that getting to the bottom of this calamitous killing will be Singh's toughest case yet.
