Modern-Day Beijing. Mei Wang, 31, lives and works as a private
detective in China's capital city. After her resignation from the
Ministry for Public Security, Mei saw her status drop swiftly in
the eyes of her former colleagues, her TV-star sister, and even her
mother. But sharp, intuitive Mei has taken her valuable experience
and her insider knowledge of the police and city politics and set
herself up as a successful private investigator. Now, with her own
car, her own business, even a male receptionist to reflect her
well-to-do status, Mei Wang is ensconced in her own little corner
of the biggest city in China.
When Mei receives a call from the chief executive at Guanghua
Record Company, she learns that one of Mr. Peng's top starlets --
the beautiful pop star Kaili -- has been missing for four days. Mei
must find the starlet while keeping up the record company's facade
that nothing is amiss. Though Kaili is a piece of Mr. Peng's
moneymaking machine, Mei learns that she is also a troubled,
mysterious young woman whom no one really knows. The discovery of a
secret stash of letters in Kaili's apartment sets Mei on an
investigation that will take her back to a troubled past that
belongs not only to Kaili, but to the entire nation.
Meanwhile, in Gansu Province, a work camp laborer named Lin is
finally released from eight years of forced labor on the outskirts
of civilization. He angrily remembers the betrayal that cost him
his youth and his sweetheart, who was torn from his life when he
was sent to the work camp.
As Mei tries to retrace Kaili's steps, so does Lin retrace his
own past...and he carries a secret to the case that no one would
ever expect.
"Paper Butterfly," the second mystery featuring private
detective Mei Wang, is as beautiful and lyrical as it is
eye-opening.
