Lisa See: The Flower Net, Random House, ebook 9781588366672

Flower Net has been out for some time but i only just discovered this terrific crime series set in the US and China. 

Flower Net features an unlikely duo of detectives: Chinese detective Liu Hulan, a Red princess, meaning she was born into a by now wealthy high cadre family, and district attorney David Stark in Los Angeles. When the son of the US ambassador to China is found murdered on the same day as the son of a Chinese oligarch, wheels are set in motion to request the two of them in an unparalleled concerted investigation. I loved learning about the differences, politics and etiquettes Stark has to observe when he joins Hulan in Chin . A great crime novel, will definately read the other 2 in the series.
