Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The sequel to Bridge of Birds and The Story of the Stone, this fantasy tale is the equivalent of Holmes and Watson in an ancient China that never was. Master Li and Number Ten Ox investigate a strange case of murder in a book that is equal parts Chinese folklore, sly parody, adventure, horror and fun.

By terms scary and laugh out loud funny, a witty parody on ancient China (that never was) with echoes of today and tomorrow. A great read.
