The Midnight in Peking Walking Tour of Old Beijing is now Free on Voicemap

Thanks to the people at Voicemap, the audible walking tours specialists, my Midnight at Peking walking tour is now available free to download to your device thingy. So, if you’re in Beijing….it’s here…the New York Times enjoyed it!

This walk is based on the major locations featured in my book Midnight in Peking (Penguin, 2012) that retold the story of the horrific murder in 1937 of a young Englishwoman, Pamela Werner, in Peking on the eve of the Japanese invasion of the city. It covers Pamela’s former home on Armour Factory Alley, the Fox Tower (Dongbianmen) watchtower where her body was discovered, the former Badlands red light entertainment district of Peking and the former Legation Quarter, home to embassies and clubs of the foreign colony of Peking in the 1930s and also where many of the suspects in Pamela’s murder spent their days.
