Paper Butterfly.

Australia.: Pan Macmillan Australia.. 2008.. 248pp, paperback with some foxing lower edge, good copy. "Mei Wang is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own private investigation business in Beijing; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary.

When a famous young Chinese pop star goes missing in mysterious circumstances, Mei is called in to find out what has happened. Unsure whether it's a case of kidnapping, or something more sinister, Mei delves into the girl's life - from the club scene of new Beijing, to the slums of the old city - and uncovers a story of fast fame, faster money and disgruntled boyfriends. She also finds a love letter containing a rare paper butterfly: a token given as a symbol of mourning at a funeral... But what is the connection? And can Mei find the pop star before it's too late?" - Publisher's description. .
