By the end of the second chapter, you will be wondering, how the heck Inspector Shan is going to come out of this mess alive, much less figure out who the murderer is. I loved this book! There are so many twists and turns to the plot that it was all I could do to keep up. Shan is up against impossible odds from the get-go. He is a prisoner in a Chinese work (road building) unit and is called to investigate a murder (since he was a dedective before being incarcerated). It starts out that he is involved as a front only but he far too tenacious to NOT discover the real truth. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous things become. In addition, the author describes many aspects of Chinese and Tibetan culture that are fascinating. I highly recommend it!
