dark. They both lived nearby, within the Quarter, and were staying out later than normal on account of it being Russian Christmas, but Pamela would have to ride a mile or so outside the Quarter to Amour Factory Alley, skirting the notorious Badlands by riding along the Tartar Wall. Then she'd be pedaling through the Tartar City in the dark, with not even moonlight to help. The only landmarks at night would be the spindly spires of St. Michael's Church, the lights in the upper windows of the Wagons Lit hotel and the Hotel du Nord, and the black frame of the radio tower at the American Legation. 'I've been alone all my life,' she replied, 'I'm afraid of nothing! And besides, Peking is the safest city in the world.' And with that, her friends waved goodbye as she disappeared into that bitter January night.

Peking was a city that retired early. Except for the Badlands. The Badlands was a network of twisting hutong devoted to sin and vice. This part of Peking was sleepy and calm during daylight but grew raucous at night with those seeking illicit pleasures. Anything was available in the Badlands, at a price.

It was the morning of Friday January 8, and an old man named Chang Pao-chen was taking his prized songbird for a walk along the Tartar Wall towards Fox Tower.

He noticed, in the icy wasteland between the road and the tower, wild dogs sniffing at something alongside a ditch. It was a badly mutilated body, clothing disheveled, with an expensive wristwatch on one arm that had stopped just before midnight. Partially clothed in a tartan skirt and a bloodied woolen cardigan, he assumed it was a girl.

It was hard to tell from the features of her brutally stabbed and beaten face whether she was foreign or Chinese. Her entire sternum had been cut open, her ribs broken, and the open cavity gave off a strong stench. The body was strangely bloodless though. The blood must have been drained elsewhere. Arriving police were also horrified. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, which had split the skull and caused massive haemorrhaging in the brain. Most of the injuries had been inflicted postmortem, and her organs had been removed. She had been stripped before being repeatedly stabbed in a frenzy. Her right arm was nearly severed. The cuts to her shoulder, though, were made with some sort of specialist cutting tool. It was not the hack job of an amateur. Her small hands were clenched rigidly tight, her thumbs locked in her fists, trapped there by rigor mortis.

Her father knew as soon as he looked into those piercing gray eyes that the body belonged to his daughter. The hunt for a nineteen-year-old's killer haunted the final days of old Peking.
