Jake Diamond is a Chinese antique dealer in San Frncisco and a
special variety of sweet and sour sauce. Chun Liu ambles into his
shop and offers Jake a piece of Chinese heaven, a 13th Century oil
on silk painting by Zheng Mengfu. While there's something oddly
familiar about this Mr. Liu, it's just not there. The scroll has
all provenances and signatures and has been signed off by the
experts but go figure, Jake discovers what he believes to be a
fatal flaw in the scrolls authenticity. And so begins Jake's
Chinese adventure chasing Dr. Liu through the poetic and uniquely
Chinese cities of Taipei, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Shuzou and Shanghai.
Jake's range of encounters run from Pentecostals, an accusation of
murder, to his meeting his devilish jailer when a prisoner in the
Korean War and a garlic eating Chinese cop who puts the kibosh to
Jake's future.
