A delightfully complicated mystery that could only be unraveled by the beloved detective Judge Dee, whom the Los Angeles Times ranked with Sherlock HolmesMurder in Canton takes place in the year 680, as Judge Dee, recently promoted to lord chief justice, is sent incognito to Canton to investigate the disappearance of a court censor. With the help of his trusted lieutenants Chiao Tai and Tao Gan, and that of a clever blind girl who collects crickets, Dee solves a complex puzzle of political intrigue and murder through the three separate subplots “the vanished censor,” “the Smaragdine dancer,” and “the Golden Bell.”
