The night tiger, by Yangsze Choo

This is a fast-paced story set in 1930s Malaysia about several characters whose fates are intertwined. Ren is a young orphan whose twin brother calls to him from beyond the grave. Ji Lin is a young woman trying to make it on her own after being denied the possibility of college. She works for a dressmaker by day, and moonlights as a dancing instructor. Shin is her stepbrother, who is off at medical school. Ren is on a mission to find a mysterious object, which Ji Lin has coincidentally found. The novel follows both characters as they eventually find each other and carry out a mission to return the object to its owner. The plot has lots of twists and turns, and they don't know whom to trust.
