In this, the second book in Robert van Gulik's classic mystery
series of ancient China, Judge Dee must look into the murder of his
predecessor. His job is complicated by the simultaneous
disappearance of his chief clerk and the new bride of a wealthy
local shipowner.
Meanwhile, a tiger is terrorizing the district, the ghost of the
murdered magistrate stalks the tribunal, a prostitute has a secret
message for Dee, and the body of a murdered monk is discovered to
be in the wrong grave. In the end, the judge, with his deft powers
of deduction, uncovers the one cause for all of these seemingly
unrelated events.
