«De soie et de sang» is the crime novel by Xiaolong Qiu, published by Points in paperback (331 pages, in French).
Inspector Chen investigates a series of murders in Shanghai with the same staging: the victims appear in a red silk dress, barefoot, with their skirt lifted. The second death occurs in the city centre and causes a huge media stir. Chen senses that such audacity on the killer's part hides a more twisted plan.
Fifth instalment in the Inspector Chen Cao series, by author Xiaolong Qiu, originally published in 2007 as «Red Mandarin Dress».
For crime novel readers interested in classic investigations set in contemporary China.
