The Speaker of Mandarin

Another Wexford mystery read by George Baker and available for the first time on digital download. China both delighted and frustrated Wexford; the beauty, the history, all of that brought immense pleasure. But the unending attention of Mr Sung of the Chinese Tourist Board was hugely irritating – and that an old woman with bound feet should haunt him was puzzling and slightly frightening, without explanation. Back home, he found an answer to the last and then a whole new mystery opened up when he found himself in charge of yet another murder investigation, this time of one of his fellow tourists. And suddenly an apparently accidental death in China no longer seemed so accidental…. Ruth Rendell, the Sunday Times bestselling author, presents THE SPEAKER OF MANDARIN, a riveting detective story that keeps the readers on the edge of their seats. The book is a testament to her exceptional storytelling skills, making her one of the best authors in the genre of detective fiction. For fans of P. D. James (An Unsuitable Job for a Woman), Ann Cleeves (The Dark Wives), Elly Griffiths (The Man in Black and Other Stories), Anthony Horowitz (The Twist of a Knife), and J. R. Ellis (The Canal Murders).
