Description
Two unlikely allies race through the cobbled streets of 1920s London in search of a killer targeting Chinese immigrants in SJ Rozan and John Shen Yen Nee's enormously enjoyable series opener. For fans of the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films, this fun, swashbuckling mystery brings Chinese history to dazzling life. London, 1924. When shy academic (and aspiring novelist) Lao She meets larger-than-life, law-defying Judge Dee Ren Jie, his life abruptly turns from books and lectures to daring chases and narrow escapes. Dee has come to London to investigate the murder of a man he'd known during World War I when serving with the Chinese Labour Corps. No sooner has Dee interviewed the grieving widow than another dead body turns up. Then another. All stabbed to death by a butterfly sword. Will Dee and Lao be able to connect the threads of the murders--or are they next in line as victims? Expertly blending fact and fiction, John Shen Yen Nee and SJ Rozan's ground-breaking collaboration is based both on classical Chinese literature and all the most iconic aspects of the Sherlock Holmes canon. Dee and Lao encounter the aristocracy and the street-child telegraph, churchmen and thieves in this clever, cinematic mystery that's as thrilling and visual as an action film, as imaginative and transporting as a timeless classic.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
