'Historical fiction extraordinaire Sulari Gentill is back with All the Tears in China, another instalment in her ‘Rowland Sinclair Mysteries’ series. Rowland, an artist and amateur detective, travels to Shanghai from Sydney to represent his brother at international wool negotiations. It’s 1935 and Shanghai is a melting pot of cultures, political leanings and trade deals. Rowland is under strict instructions not to meddle in anything untoward. But then there’s a murder – and he’s made a suspect. In this extract, Rowland has just arrived in Shanghai.' (Introduction)
