It was a chilly September evening when the body of a young pro-democracy protester surfaced in Hong Kong's eastern Yau Tong Bay. The local police quickly concluded his death as accidental drowning, but fellow protesters believe it was part of a dark ploy by the authorities to quash the political movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJames Lai, the Han Herald's senior reporter, is assigned to investigate the mysterious death. Unbeknownst to him, the assignment is a front created by his editors to shift the narrative against leaders in Beijing, unnerved by the intensified public opinion. As he digs deeper, he finds himself coming into a close brush with the forces of a power struggle among the Party's top brass. His pursuit of the truth challenges his personal and professional integrity at every step of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaced with a politically-pressured media environment in Hong Kong and the Herald newsroom that has declined from a once globally respected publication to a propaganda mouthpiece, James can only trust his own journalistic beliefs and dogged reporting to piece together the mystery and bring the story to life. Nonetheless, the answers he uncovers about the conspiracy are more sinister than he could have imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46675799638252,"sku":"9789814954075","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16881973485682.jpg?v=1752946094"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/elaine-chan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
