To understand Tibet, one must read Pattison! TAZ Shan is called to a remote mountain village. A stranger, who is so severely injured that he lies in a coma, is said to have killed two Tibetans. Shan uncovers inconsistencies: the bodies have already been removed, and a German has set up camp near a gold mine. When the stranger awakens from his coma, the villagers want to kill him. Shan secures a delay - and experiences the surprise of his life. As wise as a monk, as clever as a master detective - a new novel featuring Shan, the investigator.
