On the mountainous border of China and Tibet in 1708, a
detective must learn what a killer already knows: that empires'
rise and fall on the strength of the stories they tell. When a
Jesuit astronomer is found murdered in the home of the local
magistrate, blame is hastily placed on Tibetan bandits. But Li
Du suspects this was no random killing. Everyone has secrets:
the ambitious magistrate, the powerful consort, the bitter
servant, the irreproachable secretary, the East India Company
merchant, the nervous missionary, and the traveling storyteller
who can't keep his own story straight.
Characters: 19. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Mystery.
