Deep in the heart of Tibet, an unusual crime occurs. Shan, a former Chinese police officer, must solve the murder of a monk and ensure that an ancient Tibetan prophecy is fulfilled. He is tasked with bringing a sacred stone to the north, but suddenly half the army is on his trail – along with a ghostly monk figure who is said to have returned from India to lead the Tibetan resistance against their occupiers. Eliot Pattison masterfully transcends boundaries and transports his readers to a land of enigmatic beauty, where people fight every day for hope against lies and crime. A spiritual adventure, beautifully told. The ultimate mix of crime and culture.
