When red is black

by Qiu Xiaolong

"For what seems a fortune, Inspector Chen Cao has been asked by a triad-connected businessman to use his holiday time to do a translation job. He will be given everything he needs: a laptop, 'a little secretary' to provide for him; medical care for his mother. He is assured there are no stings attached."--Page 2 of cover.
