Chief Inspector Wexford is on a trip to China with a group of British tourists. It's a long, hot tour and most of it is by train. The Inspector prefers hot green tea over cold drinks in the stifling Chinese summer and as the tour progresses, Inspector Wexford begins to see an old Chinese woman with bound feet following him from village to village. Is she real or is she an hallucination? Upon returning home to England, Wexford is called out to the scene of a murder. The victim is one of the tourists from the China trip. Wexford must solve this crime and the mystery of the woman with bound feet. Excellent traditional British mystery.
