A vivid account of Chinese intellectuals across the twentieth century that provides a guide to making sense of China today.
Augustus Mandrell: No birth certificate ... no passport ... no identification ... no fixed address ... in fact, he is not officially alive. Which is fortunate, because neither does he have a license to kill. But he does, and supremely well. Not to mention often. Who is Mandrell? British C.I.D. American OSS, the Surete, Interpol and many other agencies would dearly want to know. But they never will. Why? Because Mandrell is a man unlike any other - a throwback, an individualist, a smooth killer who admires beauty in all things (girls, jewels, money ... rugs) yet whose final objective is the ultimate in violence; a man to whom impossible challenge is meat and drink, the thrill of a manhunt is his life's blood, the final savagery merely a necessary part of the murderous courtship that leads up to it. Mandrell kills for profit. You'll love him for it.

From the very first day that they move to the Oddlode Valley, Mo, Diana and Anke find themselves on a relocation collision course. As inept removal men deliver furniture - and even horses - to the wrong houses, other moves are being made. Mo's bad boy lover takes Diana's eye, Anke's flirtatious husband suggests Mo hop into bed with him - and Diana's local heart-throb brother comes joyfully face to face with his teenage crush. As a long, hot Indian summer burns its embers into winter, new passions ignite and old flames are fanned. The heat is on, and sparks fly - but is it just a flash in the pan or is somebody fuelling the fire?
