They looted nearly every building that they could find, stealing from the poor and the rich alike. They then slaughtered scores of people that they happened upon. Some victims of the Nanking Massacre were thrown into mass, unmarked graves. Others were simply left to rot in the sun. The good points were that Grey spends part of the book working in a hostess club, as did the author. Since those clubs aren't part of my usual Japan milieu, I was interested enough to keep reading. The "tension" and thriller aspects were practically non-existent. And I disliked Grey so much that even when she was in mortal peril I didn't care.

More than a few of my notes were about how sad I felt reading this story.

She would joke that she was just antisocial, but the simple truth was that she was very shy and suffered from crippling stage fright. When she did make an appearance, though she was far from being an extrovert, she was always charming and vivacious and held her audience spellbound. urn:oclc:61427573 Republisher_date 20140110100414 Republisher_operator [email protected];[email protected] Scandate 20131230100746 Scanner scribe18.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Source

Grey seeks out Professor Shu Chongming, because he has the only known film footage of the Nanking Massacre. At first he refuses to work with Grey. Then, he makes a deal with Grey.
