«Encres de Chine» is the crime novel by Qiu Xiaolong, published by Points in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The discovery of the corpse of a dissident, a former Red Guard, puts Inspector Chen Cao and his deputy Yu on the trail of a case in Shanghai that the Party would rather bury. Official pressure to find a quick culprit clashes with the secrets the murder unearths about the Cultural Revolution.
Third installment in the Inspector Chen Cao series, after «Mort d'une héroïne rouge» and «Visa pour Shanghai». The original English title is «When Red Is Black».
For readers of crime fiction seeking police plots with historical background in contemporary China.
