"The Shanghai Moon" is a necklace that is purported to be of some value. Lydia Chin, a Chinese investigator, is asked to look into its disappearance and possible recovery. Lydia is estranged from her partner, Bill Smith, since their last investigation. Bill has taken time off to sort through problems that were caused by that invesitgation. Lydia finds herself deeply involved in finding "The Shanghai Moon" , but more deeply involved in the life of Rosalie Gilder. Rosalie was Jewish, German, and escaping Nazi Germany. Rosalie finds herself aboard ship and becoming entranced by a Chinese Nationalist, Chen Kai-Rong. The relationship leads to marriage and Chen fashioning a necklace to be called "The Shanghai Moon". This became one of the most sought after pieces of jewelry, when it disappears. Its disappearance is coupled with Mao's takeover of China and Chiang Kai-shek's retreat to Taiwan. The story is steeped in the history of China and follows a family's flight from China to the United States. This is a very good read with plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest. There are a lot of characters to keep track of with similar names. The story also receives most of its mystery from letters that were written from Rosalie to her mother back in Germany. The reader should enjoy not only the historical aspect of the book, but also the ongoing culture of the Chinese people.
