Overview: Andy Oakes was born in 1952 and is the son of a professional football player and an academic. After his ‘A’ levels he worked as an engineer in the defence industry. His work with young people, on a voluntary basis, led to him producing a photographic study of youth in the inner-city for the Gulbenkian Foundation and a career as a professional photographer. Having created a photographic retail franchise business with a staff of 12 and a turnover of over one million pounds, he trained to be a Youth Counsellor. He now lives in East Sussex and works with young people, specialising in alcohol and substance abuse.
He is the author of two novels, Dragon’s Eye and Citizen One.
Genre: Mystery, Crime
1. Dragon’s Eye
Shanghai, The People’s Republic of China. Eight bodies chained together and horribly mutilated are found in the mud of the Huangpu River. Sun Piao, a Senior Investigator with the Homicide Squad of the PSB, has drawn the short straw… the case stinks of Party and Security Service involvement. Wu, the Chief Medical Examiner, refuses to carry out the autopsies.
No hospital will take the bodies in. And Comrade Officer Liping, Piao’s head of department, knows things about the murders that he should not know. Piao should dump the case, he knows it; but to walk away from another politically difficult case goes against the grain. He has had to walk away from too many things, too many times. Privileged Shanghai society, the labyrinthine political system, the lowest depths of China’s criminal world and its repressive penal institutions… Piao’s quest brings him into intimate contact with all layers of Chinese society as he unravels its secrets.
2. Citizen One
First novel, Dragon Eye, introduced the quick-thinking detective Sun Piao and was such a success it was translated into several other languages. This sequel continues at the same cracking pace, beginning with the gruesome murder, rape and encasing in concrete of a young girl. Oakes ably evokes the sights and sounds of a corrupt, claustrophobic Shanghai against the euphoric backdrop of the 2008 Olympic Games. Sun Piao returns from his incarceration in a high-security hospital for Chinese dissidents, "Ankang," a place that "punishes through the use of injections… injections that swell your tongue so that it bulges out of your mouth.
