✦ Synopsis


From Library Journal

Published in 1984, 1981, and 1982, respectively, these novels feature action, intrigue, violence, and murder. In the Hitchcock vein, they also portray protagonists who are just ordinary people?a professor, an architect, and a fishing-boat captain?who are dragged into extraordinary circumstances. LJ's reviewer found Death in China "tautly written," adding that Montalbano and Hiaasen have a "fine flair for characters and settings" (LJ 4/1/84).

Review

β€œA tautly written, fast-paced thriller that captures the real China.” β€” The New York Times

β€œA terrific story. . . Montalbano and Hiaasen have brought it off splendidly.” β€” Time

β€œMontalbano and Hiaasen have created a . . . maelstrom of intrigues, deceits, lusts, and canards. Like China itself, what often seems to be too implausible turns out to be real.” β€”The Wall Street Journal
