N2  - It's 1910 and people are mysteriously dying at an alarming rate in the Russian-ruled city of Kharbin, a major railway outpost in Northern China.  Strangely, some of the dead bodies vanish before they can be identified. During a dangerously cold winter in a city gripped by fear, the Baron, a wealthy Russian aristocrat and the city's medical commissioner, is determined to stop this mysterious plague.  Battling local customs, an occupying army, and a brutal epidemic with no name, the Baron is torn between duty and compassion, between Western medical science and respect for Chinese tradition.  His allies include a French doctor, a black marketeer, and a charismatic Chinese dwarf.  His greatest refuge is the intimacy he shares with his young Chinese wife, but she has secrets of her own
