Opis

One night in January 1937, in the dying days of colonial Peking, a body was found under the haunted watchtower. It was Pamela Werner, the daughter of the city's former British consul. A horrified world followed the hunt for Pamela's killer. Some 75 years later, British historian Paul French accidentally came across the lost case file.
