Chinese author Qiu Xiaolong poses for a photograph with his latest book titled 'Red Mandarin Dress' in Beijing March 8, 2008. The U.S.-based author's tales of Chief Inspector Chen Cao, a Communist Party member and beat cop probing politically sensitive murder cases in Shanghai's underworld, have proved an unlikely hit for Western audiences, but in China, Qiu's stories of Shanghai gangsters, sleaze and official misdeeds is less beguiling to official censors.
