About the book
Hong Kong, over one year. Clementine Siu is twenty-four and sits on the invitation committee of a charity ball whose seating chart is the city's social order in a spreadsheet, and she means to be its chair. An anonymous account called FACE VALUE, which publishes a ranking four times a year, begins printing small true damaging facts about her brother, and each one is accurate, and together they build a narrative. She sets out to find who is feeding it. What she does not know is that the feeder is inside her family and the man carrying the paper is the one she is in love with. The question is what a reputation is worth, and who is holding it when the price moves.
