    About Eight Skilled Gentlemen

    The third book in the Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox series

    When a resepcted mandarin is murdered in the heart of the Forbidden City, Master Li and his sidekick, Number Ten Ox, are called in to investigate. Thus begins a Sherlockian adventure that takes Master Li and Number Ten Ox–accompanied by a scarred puppeteer and his shamanka daughter–on a wild chase across China. With murder, mayhem, and magic aplenty, and Chinese folklore and literary references thrown into the mix, Eight Skilled Gentlemen is a hilarious romp through Ancient China.
