Dan is an unemployed factory worker who learns to sneak into state-sponsored banquets so he can eat exquisite gourmet meals free of charge. But the secrets Dan overhears at these events eventually lead him down a twisted, intrigue-laden path. When he becomes privy to a scandal that runs from the depths of society up to its highest rungs, Dan must find a way to lay bare the corruption - without revealing the dangerous truth about himself. It is a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the new world of boomtown China.

Geling Yan was born in Shanghai and became a journalist in the late 1970s. Her first novel was published in China in 1985. Following the Tiananmen Square massacre, she left China for the United States. The Uninvited is her first work written in English. She lives in San Francisco and Africa.
