By Yu, Ovidia

First published 2026

'A wonderful series . . . Ovidia Yu skilfully creates the Singapore of pre- and post-World War II, and Su Lin is the best part - a smart, logical heroine who perseveres despite obstacles and solves mysteries' - reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The tenth instalment of Ovidia Yu's beloved series of Singapore-set historical mysteries featuring tenacious amateur sleuth Su Lin. It's 1947 in Singapore, and Su Lin is rolling out the red carpet for a new chapter in her life. Now happily settled in her marriage to Chief Inspector Le Froy, and having stepped away from her formidable grandmother Ah Ma's thriving business, she is the proud manager of the new Imperial Cinema. But the grand opening isn't going as planned . . . the cinema has an unhappy history as a site for Japanese propaganda during the Occupation, and there are protesters who would rather see it demolished, than refurbished.
