... by using 'ze small, gray zells'.Recently I have made a very nice, new acquaintance: Detective Inspector Zhang, Singapura Police Force. He is a well-educated, polite gentleman of the old-fashioned kind.And he resolves his crimes - always to do with a closed room - the way that clearly reminds me of Monsieur Poirot - whom he admits to adore ...Effective, with his female sidekick Sergeant Lee, he strikes when the culprit feels himself yet on the sure side.And he makes it with the help of 'ze small grey zells', just as Mons. Poirot used to say.This time we are very near at the perfect crime.A murder and a suspect who seems to have a perfect alibi.But the evidence points at him, and at him only.A mystery worth of those little grey cells our good Inspector Zhang is so proud of.And - as always - he finds his way to nail the culprit.Stephen Leather is THE great Britisch contemporary thriller writer! Before he began to write full-time in 1992, he was for over 10 Years a journalist who wrote for 'The Times, 'The Daily Mail' and the 'South China Morning Post' in Hongkong. He is also valued one of the most acclaimed connaisseurs of the Far East and the author of numerous bestsellers all around the globe.
