Ava
Lee #3: “The Wild Beasts of Wuhan” by Ian Hamilton. In Book #3 of this
fascinating series, Ava Lee, a young Canadian-Chinese forensic accountant works
at recovering money stolen. In this case, a wealthy Chinese gentleman from
Wuhan, China has been swindled out of 73 million dollars in fake art
masterpieces called Fauvist art, which is wild colors also known as wild
beasts. She’s not sure the money can be found, due to the matter of time that
has passed since the purchase, and the man who brokered the deal has died and
his records destroyed, but she promises to look into it for a few days, and if
leads look promising she’ll have Uncle offer a contract from Hong Kong. Her
trail takes her to Denmark, Iceland, London, and New York. Once she discovers
the evidence to proceed, she starts working to bring the money back to their
clients, only to have the clients decide on vengeance instead.
This was
another fascinating story featuring the martial arts expert of bac mai, and the method of her trail to the
final source of her investigation. The characters come alive, and Ava Lee is a
force to be reckoned with. Highly recommended.
