The saga of "Little Sweetie," as she was dubbed by the Hong Kong press, became tabloid fodder as she battled her father-in-law over the fortune of her real estate--tycoon husband Teddy Wang, who was kidnapped in 1990 and never seen again. (A 2005 ruling allowed her to hold on to the estate.) She was 69 and reportedly had ovarian cancer...

Most frustratingly, we never get to hear the story of how O manages to escape his own tale's bullet-riddled climax. That, we can only hope, is fodder for another book. Church says there's a second in the works: in Inspector O, the author has crafted a complex character with rough charm to spare, and in eternally static North Korea, he has a setting that will fascinate readers for sequels to come...
