About This Book
In the fourth installment of Robert Van Gulik's ancient Chinese mystery
series based on historical court records, detective Judge Dee is
appointed to the magistrate of Pei-chow -- a distant frontier district
in the barren north of the ancient Chinese Empire. It is here that he is
faced with three strange and disturbing crimes: the theft of precious
jewels, the disappearance of a girl in love, and the fiendish murder
involving the nude, headless body of a woman. And even more curious, the
crimes seem to be linked together by clues from a popular game of the
period, the Seven Board.
"A delight to the connoisseur" (San Francisco Chronicle), The Chinese
Nail Murders was first published in the 1950s. Timeless and exotic, it
is now reissued by Perennial and includes charming illustrations and an
epilogue that details the origins of each case and how the author
discovered them.
Availability: Usually ships in 5~10 business days.
