“See paints a fascinating portrait of a complex and enigmatic society, in which nothing is ever quite as it appears, and of the people, peasant and aristocrat alike, who are bound by its subtle strictures.”—San Diego Union-Tribune
While David Stark is asked to open a law office in Beijing, his lover, detective Liu Hulan, receives an urgent message from an old friend imploring her to investigate the suspicious death of her daughter, who worked for a toy company about to be sold to David’s new client, Tartan Enterprises.
Despite David’s protests, Hulan goes undercover at the toy factory in the rural village of Da Shui, deep in the heart of China. It is a place that forces Hulan to face a past she has long been running from. Once there, rather than finding answers to the girl’s death, Hulan unearths more questions, all of which point to possible crimes committed by David’s client. Suddenly Hulan and David find themselves on opposing sides: One of them is trying to expose a company and unearth a killer, while the other is ethically bound to protect his client. As pressures mount and danger increases, Hulan and David uncover universal truths about good and evil, right and wrong—and the sometimes subtle lines that distinguish them.

Recensioni della critica
“See’s China is as vivid as Upton Sinclair’s Chicago. . . . Hulan remains an intriguing heroine with a complex inner life that distills the contradictions of modern China. . . . One of the classier practitioners of the international thriller . . . See does more than strew mayhem—she draws her characters with convincing psychological depth, and she offers up documentary social detail that reeks of freshly made muck.”—The New York Times
“Sophisticated . . . See’s writing is . . . graceful and she still has China passionately observed.”—Los Angeles Times
“Lisa See [does] for Beijing what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for turn-of-the-century London or Dashiell Hammett did for 1920s San Francisco: She discerns the hidden city lurking beneath the public façade.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Original and fresh, an absorbing look at an unfamiliar world.”—Publishers Weekly
“Immediate, haunting and exquisitely rendered, a fine line drawing of the sights and smells of the road overseas.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“A unique read . . . a thriller with a heart.”—The Guardian
“The Interior is packed with well-researched and nuanced reporting on today’s China. . . . Hulan is an insightful guide to both Chinese corruption and those who resist it.”—The Washington Post
