A woman wades into the waters of Morecambe Bay in a drunken bid to commit suicide. She finds herself instead saving the life of a young Chinese cockle picker, a survivor of a tragic mass drowning. Wen and Angie share neither language nor experience, but she agrees to let him stay with her and disappear. Within a short time their unlikely pairing blossoms into something darkly passionate. But Wen is still in debt to the snakeheads who brought him out of China. And when his sister, Lili, travels to Britain, she unwittingly seals his fate.

Crimson China review
Having lived in Hong Kong and the UK and having some experience of the Chinese underworld from serving as a police officer inj Hong Kong (many moons ago) I found this book to be remarkably well researched and written. The portrayals of the characters are excellent. The story moves along quickly and keeps the suspense going throughout. In short a thoroughly good read and I recommend it highly.
