‘When the Fox dies Even the Rabbit Weeps’ is a crime thriller of novel proportions inspired by historical facts and characters.
A Chicago homicide detective searching for a kidnapped girl in 1930 colonial Shanghai unearths an unlikely international conspiracy...
For disillusioned Detective Jake Puccini, the shortest distance between a cop and a crime is never a straight line. In order to find the young girl in his last few days of an enforced police exchange program in China, Jake must first re-evaluate a stagnant multiple murder case he thinks he is leaving behind. He must also determine for Police Commissioner Gibbons why a high profile councilman, who allegedly suicided, was shot post mortem. Even more puzzling, Jake must determine how communist organizer Kang Sheng, in masquerade and wanted by Gibbons, appears to know his every move.
As Jake delves into three seemingly disparate events, he’s unwittingly drawn into a precarious John Le Carre-esque cloak-and-dagger game by both Gibbons and Kang, discovering that virtually everybody he knows is not who they appear to be.
