Description

21 Immortals introduces an exciting new voice in international noirfor readers of Jo Nesb, Keigo Higashino, and John Burdett.

Inspector Mislan Latifs final case after a long nights shift could be his last. Called to a wealthy neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, he finds a crime scene unlike any he has encountered before: pristine, the victims a family seated at dinner, Mona Lisa smiles fixed to their faces, frozen mid-gesture around the traditional Chinese New Yeardish of yee sang, signifying prosperity, longevity, many good thingsthough its not that time of year. It makes an eerie, chilling tableauof death, but signifying what? The celebrity of the father, fashion magnate Robert Tham, has already drawn a media throng, and soon the upper echelons of the police have taken an interest, bringing pressure to solve the crime quickly.

But every clue points to another unknown. This isnt the primary scene: where is it? What are the motives of Thams younger business partner, the attractive Miss Irene? What of his connections to an old-school criminal gang and the triads? With rival units of the police seeking to co-opt and, he suspects, bury the case, Inspector Mislans investigation takes him to every level of this modern, multi-ethnic, American-pop-culture-influenced society, to where moneyed power and influence demand their say. Maverick, hard-boiled yet tender, a single father raising a young child, Mislan must rely onhis teamand the politically savvy woman leading Major Crimes who is his bossto support, protect him from the corruption above, and help find a way to ensure the course of justice.
