China Beyond the Headlines-a character-driven international missing-person mystery with an adventurous edge. Chinese-American attorney Alice Zhu hasn't set foot in her home country since emigrating as a teenager more than thirty years ago. But when her top client-and childhood friend-Deckard Shen vanishes, leaving behind a hefty unpaid legal bill and rumors of upheaval, Alice has no choice but to confront old wounds and fly to Shanghai to track him down. In China, Alice forges an unlikely alliance with Duan Lili, a clever young woman who knows more than she lets on. From a bustling office park in Shanghai to a mogul's penthouse lair in Nanjing to a slow train through Sichuan, every clue brings fresh surprises-and a few detours. Told in dual POV, Alice's search unfolds alongside the recollections of Deckard-a brilliant, volatile tech CEO whose secrets are buried in the memories he can't let go, especially those from a fateful trip in 1989. When their paths finally converge, risk multiplies, loyalties are uncertain, and fortunes can flip in an instant. How will they emerge unscathed before it's too late? Perfect for fans of Lisa See, Laura Dave, Liane Moriarty, and Lisa Brackmann: expect the emotional resonance of personal secrets, the pulse of a missing-person search, the suspense of twisting plots with richly drawn characters, the vivid immediacy of life in modern China. What you'll love: a multi-faceted female lead; vivid, atmospheric settings that bring China to life through half a century of change; a complex, ambitious plot with emotional depth; adventurous fun without graphic violence. Great vacation read: propulsive, smart, packed with surprises. Book-club friendly: timely questions about truth, censorship, and technology, delivered with an escapist vibe. Structure & voice: third person, dual timeline-Alice now; Deckard then-literary and intelligent yet immensely readable. Themes: how experiences change minds; confronting long-buried truths; censorship and its cost; China--past and present; the value of money.
