In an earlier time, Shan Tao Yun was an Inspector stationed
in Beijing. But he lost his position, his family and his
freedom when he ran afoul of a powerful figure high in the
Chinese government. Released unofficially from the work camp
to which he'd been sentenced, Shan has been living in remote
mountains of Tibet with a group of outlawed Buddhist monks.
Without status, official identity, or the freedom to return
to his former home in Beijing, Shan finds himself in the
midst of a baffling series of events. During a ceremony
meant to rededicate an ancient and long destroyed monastery,
Shan stumbles across evidence of a recent murder in the
ruins. Now Shan is being torn between some officials who
want his help to search the ruins while others want him to
disappear back into the mountains - with one group holding
out the tantalizing prospect of once again seeing the son
from whom Shan has been separated for many years.
In a baffling situation where nothing is what it appears to
be, where the FBI, high ranking Beijing officials, the long
hidden monks, and the almost forgotten history of the region
all pull him in different directions, Shan finds his
devotion to the truth sorely tested. Traveling from Tibet to
Beijing to the U.S., he must find the links between murder
on two continents, a high profile art theft, and an
enigmatic, long-missing figure from history.
