In the third year after Nanjing fell, Wei Jiangmin had been hiding in a pawnshop by the Qinhuai River for three years. A code written on mulberry paper was tucked inside the pawnshop ledger, while the secret code to a Japanese military defense map was sealed in three old account books dating back to the Guangxu era. Then Major Matsumoto Ichiro of the Kempeitai Special Higher Police opened the pawnshop door. The first key was hidden in a partition wall in an old house on Sanshan Street. Only the vibrations of a guqin could shake it loose. The second key required a developing solution made from tung oil and morning dew gathered on Purple Mountain. The third key pointed to a misprinted copy of Stories to Caution the World. Three keys, three lives, and a gamble whose ending had been written from the very beginning. But what Matsumoto did not know was that Wei Jiangmin's greatest trump card had never been the files themselves.

The Ten Best Anti-Japanese War Novels

Looking for something similar to *Where the Smoke of War Ends* (*Beacon Fires and Runaway Soldiers*). It's one of the best novels about the War of Resistance Against Japan I've ever read. The writing is excellent and feels very authentic, with lots of vivid detail. I read part of it before, then lost track of it. After searching for years, I finally found it again recently.
