Synopsis

Inspector Jian is a Chinese cop from the Siberian borders who thinks he's seen it all. But his search for his missing daughter brings him to the meanest streets he's ever faced - in rural England. Migrant worker Ding Ming is distressed - his gangmaster's making demands, he owes a lot of money to the snakeheads and no one will tell him where his wife has been taken. Maybe England isn't the `gold mountain' he was promised..... Two desperate men, uneasy allies in a baffling foreign land, are pitted against a band of ruthless criminals. There's BAD TRAFFIC ahead.

Media Reviews
Inspired writing. Bad Traffic is a honey: suspense that never loses its grip. -- Elmore Leonard
Lewis's aim was to write a book that was 'fast-paced and pulpy with plenty of action'. He has certainly succeeded, but there's more besides - dark comedy, sensitive characterisation and an incisive rendering of the desperation felt by beleaguered strangers in a foreign land. -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *
An impressive novel set in a milieu hitherto unused in crime fiction. -- Marcel Berlins * Sunday Times *
Author Bio
Simon Lewis was born in Wales in 1971. His first novel GO (1999) was published by a small press and then picked up by Corgi. It sold more than 40,000 copies and led Simon into work as a film screenwriter. A fluent Mandarin speaker, he has also co-authored the Rough Guide to China. Simon chose to set his debut crime fiction among the exploited Chinese workers smuggled into Britain. He currently lives in Brixton and Shanghai.
