  When the stars whisper, we have to listen … 
   
  An alien signal. 
   
  Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. 
   
  But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything. 
   
  The Anomaly that's suffocating Earth isn't natural, and decoding this message could be our one shot at saving the planet. 
   
  The trouble is, we don't even know where to start. 
   
  What will it take to decipher the alien signal and unlock the secrets of the Anomaly? And how should we reply when we decode their message? 
   
  A lot of people don't think we should trust the aliens who are reaching out to us. I can't pretend I don't understand why. 
   
  But with no other way of putting things right, we have to at least figure out what they're saying. 
   
  The clock is ticking until the Anomaly consumes us. The fate of humanity lies in my hands all over again. 
   
  And this time, the choices I make will echo through the cosmos …

  "The Adventure of the Second Stain", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Second Stain" eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories.
  Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work. If divulged, this document could bring about very dire consequences for all Europe, even war. They are loath to tell Holmes at first the exact nature of the document's contents, but when Holmes declines to take on their case, they tell him that it was a rather injudicious letter from a foreign potentate. It disappeared from the dispatch box one evening when Hope's wife was out at the theatre for four hours. No-one in the house knew about the document, not even the Secretary's wife. None of the servants could have guessed what was in the box.

  At twenty-six, Princeton grad Michael Wang is trapped. Stifled under the bamboo ceiling at General Motors, he's working quietly on a breakthrough in self-driving car technology that he hopes will catapult him out of obscurity. Disaffected and largely friendless in San Francisco, he's dogged by resentment towards the Ivy Leaguers who never accepted him and his colleagues who see him as passive and faceless. 
   
   
   
  But all that changes when one night, on a freelance coding platform, he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Vivian. She's been admiring Michael's work from afar and represents a rival Beijing tech company that's eager to poach him, liberate his ideas from the stagnant confines of GM, and help him find success. For Michael, it's no choice at all. But as soon as Michael arrives in Beijing, Vivian vanishes. When the true nature of his new position is made clear, Michael finds himself enmeshed in a dangerous web of industrial espionage and counterintelligence. Caught between two countries that view him as a pawn, where do his loyalties lie? 
   
   
   
  Piercingly intelligent and ruthlessly contemporary, The Expat is a spy novel and a thrilling exploration of the myth of meritocracy, high-tech immigration, U.S.-China conflicts, identity, and disaffection that asks: in the pursuit of self-actualization, who will we betray and how far will we go?

  The emergence of crime fiction was closely connected to the development of a modern legal system. In Germany there were the true crime stories August Gottlieb Meißner (1753-1804), in Britain The Newgate Calendar (1774) and in France the romanticized publications of Eugène-François Vidocq (1775-1857), the first chief of the Sûreté.  
  China has one of the oldest bureaucracies on earth. A real life judge from the early Middle Ages became their Sherlock Holmes, and was transformed into one of the most beloved Chinese literary characters. In this audiobook Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, retells a classic gong’an legend about the iconic Judge Bao. The original story was published by Feng Menglong (1574–1646), but this is not a direct translation.
