"Inspector Chen investigates a young woman, the granddaughter of an actress who was once close to Mao, who may be in possession of an object that would bring dishonor to the Chairman's memory."@en
"Tucked away from the building sites of modernShanghai are the beautiful mansions once owned by the smartest families in 1930sChina. They have since been bought by rich businessmen and high-ranking members of the Communist Party. All except one. The owner is an old painter. Each day he teaches his students, all beautiful girls in their twenties. Each night he holds a glittering party: swing jazz plays for his former neighbours, who dance, remember old times and forget for an evening the terrors that followed. But questions are being asked. How can he afford such a lifestyle? His paintings? Blackmail? A triad connection? Prostitution? Inspector Chen is asked to investigate discreetly what is going on behind the elegant facade."
""Cuando aún no se ha repuesto de la noticia de que su antigua novia, Ling, se ha casado, el inspector jefe Chen Cao recibe la llamada de un ministro que le insta a encargarse, sin demora y personalmente, de una delicada investigación relacionada con el presidente Mao. Las autoridades temen que Jiao, la nieta de una actriz que mantuvo una "relación especial" con Mao y fue perseguida durante la Revolución Cultural, haya heredado algún documento que, de salir a la luz, empañe la figura de Mao, "intocable" aun décadas después de su fallecimiento. Jiao acaba de dejar un empleo mal pagado como recepcionista, se ha mudado a una lujosa vivienda y se ha integrado en un nuevo círculo de amistades que sólo anhela revivir nostálgicamente las costumbres y modas de la dorada Shanghai precomunista. Chen deberá infiltrase en el círculo, recuperar el comprometedor material -si existe- y evitar el escándalo, en un caso trepidante en el que se entrecruzan la fuerza de los mitos, la corrupción de la élite política y la historia reciente de China." --Contratapa."@es
""In his sixth series outing (after Red Mandarin Dress), Chief Inspector Chen, working directly under the Central Party Committee, must find whatever object Chairman Mao gave to an old mistress that could potentially embarrass the Chinese government. Working under cover, he ferrets out small details of Mao's relationship with the actress/mistress Sheng and her family. Chen chips away at the puzzle, which ultimately turns into a murder investigation." -- Library Journal."
"Le président Mao est au coeur de l'enquête de l'inspecteur Chen. La petite-fille de sa partenaire de danse est soupçonnée d'être en possession d'un souvenir du Grand Timonier. Le secrétaire du Parti Li veut étouffer l'affaire, et l'inspecteur Chen est amené à infiltrer les réseaux nostalgiques des années 1930, allant jusqu'à fouiller l'ancienne chambre de Mao dans la Cité interdite.--[Memento]."

"Chief Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai Police Department is the head of the Special Case group and is often put in charge of those cases that are considered politically "sensitive" since, as a rising party cadre, he's regarded by many as reliable. But Inspector Chen, though a poet by inclination and avocation, takes his job as a policeman very seriously, despite the pressures put upon him from within and without, and is unwilling to compromise his principles as a policeman in favor of political expedience. However, after the new Minister of Public Security insists that Chen personally take on a 'special assignment', an investigation already begun by Internal Security, he may no longer be able to resist those pressures. The party, increasingly leery of international embarrassment, is unhappy about two recent books that place Mao in a bad light. Now, Jiao, the granddaughter of an actress who was likely one of Mao's mistresses - a woman suspected of being Mao's own granddaughter - has recently quit her job, moved into a luxury apartment, and, without any visible means of support, become a part of a new social set centered around the remnants of pre-Communist Shanghai society. What they fear is that, somehow, she has inherited some artifact or material related to Mao that will, when made public, prove embarrassing. Even though there is no evidence that such even exists, Chen has been charged to infiltrate her social circle, determine if the feared material exists and, if it does, retrieve it quietly. And in only a few days - because if he can't resolve this 'Mao case' within the deadline, the party will resort to harsher, more deadly means."@en
