Toronto, 2033. Young women are disappearing, and Detective Bruce Roberts has almost nothing to work with?a broken shoe heel and three drops of blood.

Then Interpol Captain Mie Ling arrives with disturbing news. Toronto isn't the beginning. Similar abductions and murders have been occurring around the world, and the trail leads to an international criminal organization with a new and horrifying commodity.

Human experience.

Using technology capable of recording a person's sensory experiences, the Triad has created a lucrative black market?and the women they abduct are paying the price.

Roberts and Mie begin following the evidence through Toronto's criminal underworld, but every step brings another obstacle. Witnesses disappear. Evidence leads nowhere. People who should be helping them seem determined to protect the man at the centre of the investigation.

Bojing Wang is a Triad enforcer building his organization in Canada, and he appears to be untouchable.

As Roberts and Mie close in, the investigation reaches beyond organized crime and into the institutions meant to stop it. Corruption has given Wang protection, influence, and advance warning of their every move.

Then the case becomes personal.

Wang isn't content with threatening Roberts's investigation. He's willing to threaten his family as well.

With more women at risk and an enemy who always seems to know their next move, Roberts and Mie must uncover who they can trust, break through the network protecting Wang, and stop the operation before another woman disappears.

China Girl is a near-future crime thriller combining police procedural, science fiction, organized crime, and technological suspense in a dark investigation through the streets of Toronto.
