About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1995. Paperback. Light shelfwear. Very good.. 183pp. With illustrations in period style by the author, map and textual notes. Introduction by Donald F. Lach. Van Gulik, a Dutch diplomat and authority on Chinese history and culture, drew the plots from his stories from the body of Chinese literature, especially from popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century. Each Judge Dee mystery features three original Chinese plots, rewritten to form one continuous story, featuring master detective Judge Dee, one of the most famous master detectives who lived in the T'ang Dynasty of the seventh century A.D. In THE CHINESE LAKE MURDERS, the Chinese Sherlock Holmes visits the mysterious mountain lake of Han-yuan, home of ghosts and "flower boats" - floating pleasure houses with beautiful courtesans. A baffling crime soon leads to political intrigues, sordid greed and forbidden passions.
