No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Inspector Zhang of the Singapore Police Force is horrified when a woman falls to her death in front of him one evening. But what seems to be a simple case of suicide soon becomes a much more complicated affair and one that will test his detective skills to the limit.
This is a short story, just over 9,000 words, equivalent to about 30 pages. A perfect read if you have half an hour or so to kill.
I have also included the first few chapters of another detective story set in Asia - Bangkok Bob and The Missing Mormon.
