Meet Judge Dee, the detective lauded as the "Sherlock Holmes of
ancient China"
Fans of Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
series will thrill to this reissue of the first volume in Robert
van Gulik's classic Chinese Murders series. The Chinese Bell
Murders introduces the great Judge Dee, a magistrate of the city of
Poo-yang in ancient China.
In the spirit of ancient Chinese detective novels, Judge Dee is
challenged by three cases. First, he must solve the mysterious
murder of Pure Jade, a young girl living on Half Moon Street. All
the evidence points to the guilt of her lover, but Judge Dee has
his doubts. Dee also solves the mystery of a deserted temple and
that of a group of monks' terrific success with a cure for barren
women.
