**Book Description:**
"Red Roulette: An Insider's Story of Wealth, Power, Corruption, and Vengeance in Today's China" is a memoir that delves into the life of Desmond Shum, an entrepreneur who rose to significant power and wealth in 21st-century China. The book also highlights the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of his wife, Whitney Duan.
Desmond Shum's journey begins in poverty in China, but through determination, hard work, and tenacity, he manages to earn an American college degree and returns to China to establish himself in the business world. There, he meets Whitney Duan, an ambitious and intelligent woman determined to succeed in China's male-dominated society. Together, they form a formidable team and build influential relationships within China's Communist Party, known as the Red Aristocracy, which propels Desmond into China's billionaire class.
The couple's success includes projects like developing a massive air cargo facility at Beijing International Airport and creating one of Beijing's premier hotels. They live a lavish lifestyle, complete with private jets, multi-million-dollar investments, luxury homes, and more. However, their lives take a dramatic turn in 2017 when Whitney and three co-workers suddenly disappear.
"Red Roulette" provides a glimpse into China's ruling elite and unveils the truth behind the country's wealth-making machinery. It is a gripping story that sheds light on both Desmond Shum's and Whitney Duan's experiences, with a particular focus on Whitney, who has not had the opportunity to tell her story herself.
