Deep in the heart of Tibet, disgraced ex-Beijing police
inspector Shan Tao Yun is on the run from the brutal Chinese
army. He has agreed to lead an expedition to return a
long-missing stone eye to the idol from which it was stolen
an act that, according to Tibetan prophecy, will save the
sacred place where it rests. But the pilgrimage to this
distant valley turns into a desperate flight when the monk
guiding them is murdered and Shan learns that the stone eye
was stolen back from a Chinese army brigade, who is now in
hot pursuit.Tense and moving, filled with the spiritual and
geographic landscapes of the oppressed land of modern Tibet,
Bone Mountain is a spectacular achievement from a major
voice in crime fiction.
