About This Book
"Picaresque, clever, exceptionally ingenious, plotted with remarkable
skill... Go now, buy the books..." -- Crime Factory, August 2002.
In this, the second book in Robert van Gulik's classic mystery series of
ancient China, Judge Dee must look into the murder of his predecessor.
His job is complicated by the simultaneous disappearance of his chief
clerk and the new bride of a wealthy local shipowner. Meanwhile, a tiger
is terrorizing the district, the ghost of the murdered magistrate stalks
the tribunal, a prostitute has a secret message for Dee, and the body of
a murdered monk is discovered to be in the wrong grave. In the end, the
judge, with his deft powers of deduction, uncovers the one cause for all
of these seemingly unrelated events.
