A veteran British journalist living in Hong Kong investigates the disappearance of a student protester in this atmospheric novel from the New York Times notable author of The Forgiven―soon to be a major motion picture.“There came a sound of rubber bullets being fired along Java Road and the sad crowing of sirens as if to herald a future even more unpleasant than the present.”After twenty years as a journalist in Hong Kong, ex-pat Englishman Adrian Gyle has very little to show for it. Evenings are whiled away with soup dumplings and tea at Fung Shing, the restaurant downstairs from his home on Java Road, that “most melancholy street in the city, the street where the dead congregated.” It is through these jaded eyes that Gyle watches the city around him--once overflowing with wine dinners and private members’ clubs--erupt in violence as pro-democracy demonstrations hit ever closer to home. But just as Gyle prepares to turn his back on Hong Kong, he finds one last intrigue: the alluring R
