About The Author

Mai Jia (the pseudonym of Jiang Benhu) is arguably the most successful writer in China today. His books are constant bestsellers, with total sales over three million copies. He is hailed as the forerunner of Chinese espionage fiction, and has created a unique genre that combines spycraft, code-breaking, crime, human drama, historical fiction, and metafiction. He has won almost every major award in China, including the highest literary honor – the Mao Dun Award.

In the Dark has all the hallmarks of a thriller… its immense readability derives from the pervading air of mystery, the Orwellian depiction of Chinese state security… A twisting, riddling and compellingly original exploration of thwarted geniuses and restricted lives

Other text

A compound of documentary, mystery and folk-tale – an unfamiliar voice from the centre of a world of secrets
