I also recommend that you include "Death of a Red Heroine" by Don Xiaolong in your reading list.  We are in Shanghai soon after the student uprising in the Tienamen Square when a "National Model Worker" is murdered.  Chen, the Chief Inspector is assigned the job of uncovering the truth about the murdered woman and the secret life she led.
