The final installment of Lisa Brackmann's New York Times and USA Today bestselling Ellie McEnroe series set in China.

Ellie McEnroe is an Iraq War vet living in Beijing, where she represents the work of cutting-edge Chinese political artists. She has one bum leg, a taste for dumplings and beer, and a sweet-tempered rescue mutt for a roommate. She also has Chinese Domestic Security on her tail and a dwindling number of Percocets to get her through her bad days.

And she’s about to have some bad days. The immensely powerful—and occasionally homicidal—Shanghai billionaire Sidney Cao has asked Ellie to investigate his son’s suspicious new American business partner. Ellie knows she can’t refuse and is grudgingly swept up into the elite social circles of Sidney’s three children: debauched Guwei, rebellious Meimei and social climber Tiantian. When a waitress is murdered at one of Tiantian’s parties, the last thing Ellie wants is to get sucked into a huge scandal involving China’s rich and powerful. But Ellie quickly becomes the most convenient suspect. She realizes she’ll have to figure out who really did it—and even that might not be enough to save herself.

Praise for Dragon Day

  • "Excellent . . . Ellie McEnroe, our guide, is a piece of work: an expatriate American veteran of Iraq with a bad leg and a worse attitude . . . Brackmann is terrific at evoking both the glitz of modern high-society China and Ellie's hand-to-mouth existence in some of Beijing's less reputable corners."--The Seattle Times
  • "Edgy."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram
  • "As soon as I read the opening lines of Lisa Brackmann's new China-set crime thriller, Dragon Day, I knew I was going to enjoy it every bit as much as I had anticipated . . . You might think you know what's coming, but you have no idea."--Los Angeles Review of Books
  • "Brackmann always manages to keep you on the edge of your seat and teach you something about that country at the same time. Not to be missed."--Huffington Post
  • "A nonstop thriller, illuminating the Chinese police state in which 'First they decide you're a threat. Then they find a label for it.' Top-notch international crime fiction."--Booklist, Starred Review
