This powerful and disturbing New York Times bestseller is written by Desmond Shum, and centers on his wife Whitney Duan, who, together, rose to the top levels of power and wealth—then fell out of favor. Whitney had disappeared four years earlier, but the book chronicles her dramatic reemergence. As Desmond Shum grew up impoverished in China, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and tenacity he earned an American college degree and returned to his native country to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, Whitney Duan, who was determined to make her mark within China's male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an effective team and, aided by relationships with top members of China’s Communist Party—the so-called red aristocracy—he vaulted into China’s billionaire class. They developed major projects, traveled on private jets, funded multi-million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchased expensive homes, vehicles, and art. But in 2017, their fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while residing overseas with his son, learned that his now-ex-wife Whitney had vanished along with three coworkers.
