...not only an outstanding thriller, but also a powerfully informative read.... The Guardian on The Slaughter Pavilion

My fourth crime novel, The Slaughter Pavilion, is now out in paperback. Read the first chapter of the new book online here. It’s set in present-day Beijing, where I live, and features private detective Song Ren, a good man trying to navigate a murky world.

There's new free content on this site, including the short story Hit and Run, and an 11-page Creative Writing Workshop. I hope you enjoy both of them.
