Synopsis

In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her—until she was kidnapped and sold into service there.Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. That’s her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. He sees through Maomao’s façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor’s favorite consort... so she can taste the lady’s food for poison!At her lady’s side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace—not all of it seemly. Can she ever lead a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?

    It was the 29th of October 1933, three days before Samhain, when the gateway to the Otherworld stood wide open, and the dead were honoured whilst one simultaneously had to protect oneself from evil spirits, when Inspector Wolfford appeared at Holmes and Watson's in Baker Street asking for help. The midwife Mrs Hughes was found dead in her flat. Around the corpse, five pumpkins had been placed, each carved with a grotesque face and brightly illuminated. Several inconsistencies immediately caught Holmes's eye, and thus the case presented a puzzle even for the master detective and his assistant...

    Detective Erin O’Reilly is used to people trying to kill her. She’s carefully established a false identity as a killer for the Mob, while secretly working to bring it down from within. She thinks she knows where the danger is. But now a fiendishly clever assassin is stalking the streets, targeting New York’s judges. His weapons are lethal traps, designed to kill without warning and look like freak accidents. 
    With one judge dead and another’s life on the line, Erin and the rest of the Major Crimes squad race against time to track down a faceless, implacable murderer. To make matters worse, the mob war started by slick Mafioso Vinnie “The Oil Man” isn’t over yet. Nobody holds onto a vendetta like the Mafia, and the blood hasn’t stopped flowing. 
    It’s an electrifying case for Erin and her trusty K-9 Rolf as old enemies surface and loyalties clash, setting the stage for a shocking showdown in Manhattan’s halls of justice.
