THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe two main characters will captivate you as their paths are destined to cross... you wont be able to put this one down!

I was willingly propelled into a fascinating and exotic world

They say a tiger that devours too many humans can take the form of a man and walk among us...
In 1930s colonial Malaya, a dissolute British doctor receives a surprise gift of an eleven-year-old Chinese houseboy. Sent as a bequest from an old friend, young Ren has a mission: to find his dead masters severed finger and reunite it with his body. Ren has forty-nine days, or else his masters soul will roam the earth forever.
Ji Lin, an apprentice dressmaker, moonlights as a dancehall girl to pay her mothers debts. One night, Ji Lins dance partner leaves her with a gruesome souvenir that leads her on a crooked, dark trail.
As time runs out for Rens mission, a series of unexplained deaths occur amid rumours of tigers who turn into men. In their journey to keep a promise and discover the truth, Ren and Ji Lins paths will cross in ways they will never forget.
Captivating and lushly written, The Night Tiger explores the rich world of servants and masters, ancient superstition and modern ambition, sibling rivalry and unexpected love. Woven through with Chinese folklore and a tantalizing mystery, this novel is a page-turner of the highest order.
