Inhaltsangabe

An irresistibly dark reimagining of 1930s Shanghai filled with glamour, gods and gangsters.

‘I was utterly swept up . . . seductive, sprawling, full of malice’ – Kendare Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns

In Shanghai, danger wears many faces . . .

1932, Shanghai. By day, Jingwen delivers bones for her grandmother, an exclusive surgeon who works for the most formidable gang in the city. By night, she dances at the Paramount, a lavish cabaret club, competing ruthlessly to charm its wealthy patrons.

Then mysterious attackers start to target the dancers, stealing the faces of their victims and selling them on to the powerful elite. Jingwen fears she could be next. To protect herself and her fellow performers, she has no choice but to delve deeper into the city’s glittering underworld.

In this treacherous realm of cut-throat businessmen, silver-limbed gangsters and vengeful gods, Jingwen soon learns that she must become something far stranger and more dangerous than she ever imagined – if she hopes to survive . . .

‘Decadent, dangerous and addictive’ – A. Y. Chao, Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal
