Described accurately as "densely plotted and incredibly detailed induces Pattison's entranced readers to care deeply about his compelling characters and long-suffering Tibet". The book is a follow-up to The Skull Mantra about ex-Beijing police inspector Shan Tao Yun who is now on the run from the brutal Chinese army. Reading it takes work, but is worth the effort. You will never look at the glorious peaks of Tibet in the same way again.
