Midnight in Peking – Sneak Preview of my new Cover

My forthcoming new book Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China is launched initially in Australia and Asia in September. It’ll be launched in the UK, Europe and North America in 2012 to give me a chance to get everywhere. Penguin Australia have put my new cover up on the web so I might as well show it off here to. I rather like it – and we looked at a gazillion designs before settling on this one. In fact the more I see the more it grows on me. Hopefully bookshops will feel the same and feel it worthy of displaying with the cover facing outwards (the Holy Grail!!).
