Summary

In the Russian city of Kharbin in northern China - a city uniquely positioned at the rich crossroads of several cultures and languages, and accessible to outsiders only by train - people have started to die at an alarming rate. But more frighteningly, their bodies vanish mysteriously before they can be identified: two male travellers who arrived by train; a woman outside a department store, her corpse lost on route to the post mortem; two more men, this time Chinese. The Baron - a Russian aristocrat and the official doctor of Kharbin - sets out to solve the mystery of the deaths and the secrecy and fear surrounding them. An outsider married to a young Chinese woman, he is determined to save Kharbin as he begins to suspect that a deadly plague has broken out.
