In the Name of the People cover

Not everyone wants you to succeed... Comrade.

In the Name of the People charts the endemic corruption permeating every level of government, party and industry in a Chinese province. The twists and turns of this epic whodunnit are as tortuous as they are spellbinding. Brace yourself for a real roller-coaster ride through the upheavals and eventual salvation of H Province.ATTENTION ALL PARTY BODIES OF H PROVINCE: After consultation with relevant authorities it has been determined the local state organs have failed to undeviatingly serve the people of H province, and the entire local apparatus is riddled with corruption. Attempts to rectify the situation have failed because morally degenerate senior officials have resorted to increasingly desperate measures to cover their tracks. Effective immediately, Comrade Hou Liangping, veteran of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, is to be sent to the province to help expedite a resolution to this crisis. Every assistance will be given to Comrade Hou. Any deviation from this directive will be identified and strictly disciplined. END OF MESSAGE.
