Uncorrected proof copy of the seventh novel in the Judge Dee series.
Forced to seek shelter from a violent storm, Judge Dee takes refuge in the Monastery of the Morning Clouds, a place already burdened by a sinister reputation. Three women had been murdered there the previous year, and the monastery remains a forbidding and oppressive setting. In keeping with the conventions of traditional Chinese crime fiction, Judge Dee must unravel three interlinked cases.
Judge Dee is a fictionalised version of the Tang-dynasty magistrate Di Renjie (seventh century). Van Gulik first encountered the character while translating the eighteenth-century Chinese detective novel Dee Goong An (1949), an experience which inspired him to create his own Judge Dee stories. The series was published between 1949 and 1967. A Dutch diplomat and accomplished sinologist, Van Gulik consistently incorporated his scholarly research into his fiction and illustrated his novels himself, adopting a distinctive woodblock-inspired style.
Evers, p. 55.
