The Shanghai Assignment by Karl Andrews

After more than two decades on New York's crime beat, reporter John Moore is enjoying semi-retirement in Vermont, writing up wire reports, hiking in the woods... and trying not to think about the story that ended his career. But when his former intern Samantha Fellows is murdered on the campus of Shanghai’s Fudan University, Moore agrees to cover the investigation for her local newspaper. As the killings spread, Moore finds himself tracking the city’s ambitious mayor, probing a suspicious property development - and uncovering a political intrigue that could change China forever.
