It is a  place that forces Hulan to face a past she has long been running from. Once there,  rather than finding answers to the girl’s death, Hulan unearths more questions, all  of which point to possible crimes committed by David’s client. Suddenly Hulan and  David find themselves on opposing sides: One of them is trying to expose a company  and unearth a killer, while the other is ethically bound to protect his client. As  pressures mount and danger increases, Hulan and David uncover universal truths about  good and evil, right and wrong–and the sometimes subtle lines that distinguish them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Interior\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “[See] illuminates tradition and change, Western and Eastern cultural differences.  . . .
