Peking, China, 1937, a freezing January morning, next to the inner wall the mutilated body of an English girl. Her name was Pamela Werner, daughter of a respected academic who spent the rest of his life searching for her murderer and the motive behind this horrific crime. French exposes corruption and closing of ranks of senior officials even after 76 years and his persistence answers most of the questions. This is a history lesson and riveting crime story exposé.
