Product Description
Review
This is the author's third novel featuring former Beijing investigator Shan Tao Yun; the previous two were The Skull Mantra and Water Touching Stone. Shan joins a group of Tibetans returning a sacred artefact to its home. Almost at once the group is threatened with violence and the outlawed monk who leads them through the wild land of Tibet is killed. Shan learns that the artefact has in fact been stolen from the Chinese army. Their journey into the mountains takes them to the base of a Western oil venture and a monastery that appears to be more in line with the teachings of the party than with those of Buddha. It is a powerful tale told with gusto about oppressed people who never give up. It all makes a riveting story which holds one right from the beginning; a thriller of real quality.
The Guardian - Praise for The Skull Mantra
'A cocktail of action and adventure…a great read’
