The answer is in their view of Pamela’s father, Edward Werner, 72 at the time of her death and, quite possibly, the oddest of all the odd characters. He had been born to British and Prussian parents on board a ship in Dunedin harbour, hence his full name Edward Theodore Chalmers Werner. He joined the British consular system in China, rose to be a consul and, depending on one's view, was either a rather disagreeable man or alternatively the most disagreeable man in all China. Inside the wallof all cycling around ringing their bells like crazy. The Beijingers also are fierce fond of tiny dogs, really cute ones, that they are terribly affectionate to and these little yokes sit like royalty in the bicycle baskets being cycled around at a fierce pace.

The death of Pamela Werner seems to be one. The 20-year-old college student, was murdered and dumped below the old walls of Beijing on a cold night in 1937. The killing filled the city’s foreign community, already on edge over the growing Japanese army to the north, with dread. She had been mutilated. Someone had slashed at her over and over again, broken her ribs outward with great force and cut out her heart. The murder has never been solved. It has spawned two very good and very different books.

(It is one of the great benefits of decades-old cold cases that writers can disagree without upsetting anyone). Sheppard’s account, A Death in Peking, is the result; released this year, it too is very good. He came across the case because his wife’s grandfather had been a British consul in China at the time and gave him French’s book. He became uneasy, then decided to investigate for himself. “The Midnight in Peking account was, to me, unfair and inaccurate in its analysis and incorrect in its conclusions,’ he writes. “It purports to be history but is not.” Thank God for a very patient waitress, who first off tried to communicate using language (not possible - we just kept saying, 'Hello, thank you, thank you') and then writing (not possible, we had only figured out one Mandarin character which was 'Men' - not as in Men, but as in Tiana-MEN... we didn't even know what it meant, so pretty useless), and then by Lonely Planet guidebook language glossary. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.The outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war saw files destroyed, people detained or scattered. Civil War after 1945 and the eventual victory of the Communists completed the process. Sheppard is very good on the terrible aftermath of these events. Whereas, French tends to follow Werner’s investigations down into the Badland bars and brothels, then stay there, Sheppard follows his characters through the years of war, imprisonment and death. One of his most astonishing findings is that Werner and the men he accused of killing Pamela ended up in the same Japanese internment camp. The old man would shake his finger and hiss at the men that he knew what they’d done. For Werner (if he was correct) and the men (if he was wrong), it must have been a terrible psychological burden even in the midst of a Japanese camp.

Who slipped a lizard into Lady Char Ming’s tea? Who is the despicable villain going around pulling the braids of Peking’s residents? Was it the suspect Ping Pong? The mysterious Ai Olie?
