About This Book
A young woman at a dazzling fair becomes drawn into a puzzle when a jeweled three-bladed knife and other Eastern artifacts surface, connected to a golden temple and auctioned unclaimed goods. Her search for the truth brings encounters with a mysterious Chinese man, a mandarin who tells stories, a traveler recently returned from China, and other strangers; episodes range from rooftop sky-ride views and moonlit processions to hidden banners, midnight alarms, and daring rescues. The plot unfolds as a sequence of discoveries, dreams, dances, and confrontations that mix exotic lore, stolen treasure, and suspenseful night adventures leading to a climactic public scene.
