The corpse is missing its head and is dressed in American
clothes. Found by a Tibetan prison work gang on a windy
cliff, the grisly remains clearly belong to someone too
important for Chinese authorities to bury and forget. So the
case is handed to veteran police inspector Shan Tao Yun.
Methodical, clever Shan is the best man for the job, but he
too is a prisoner, deported to Tibet for offending someone
high up in Beijing's power structure. Granted a temporary
release, Shan is soon pulled into the Tibetan people's
desperate fight for its sacred mountains and the Chinese
regime's blood-soaked policies. Then, a Buddhist priest is
arrested, a man Shan knows is innocent. Now time is running
out for Shan to find the real killer.
