Called to a wealthy neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, he finds a crime scene unlike any he has encountered before: pristine, the victims a family seated at dinner, Mona Lisa smiles fixed to their faces, frozen mid-gesture around the traditional Chinese New Year dish of \u003ci\u003eyee sang\u003c\/i\u003e, signifying prosperity, longevity, many good things\u003ci\u003e--\u003c\/i\u003ethough it's not that time of year. It makes an eerie, chilling tableau of death, but signifying what? The celebrity of the father, fashion magnate Robert Tham, has already drawn a media throng, and soon the upper echelons of the police have taken an interest, bringing pressure to solve the crime quickly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But every clue points to another unknown. This isn't the primary scene: where is it? What are the motives of Tham's younger business partner, the attractive Miss Irene? What of his connections to an old-school criminal gang and the triads? With rival units of the police seeking to co-opt and, he suspects, bury the case, Inspector Mislan's investigation takes him to every level of this modern, multi-ethnic, American-pop-culture-influenced society, to where moneyed power and influence demand their say. Maverick, hard-boiled yet tender, a single father raising a young child, Mislan must rely on his team--and the politically savvy woman leading Major Crimes who is his boss--to support, protect him from the corruption above, and help find a way to ensure the course of justice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRozlan Mohd Noor \u003c\/b\u003eserved for eleven years as a crime investigator in the CID of the Royal Malaysia Police and a court prosecutor before joining the private sector. \u003ci\u003e21 Immortals\u003c\/i\u003e, his first Inspector Mislan novel, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writer's Best First Book Award and longlisted for the International DUBLIN Literary Award.
