Li Du was an imperial librarian. Now he is an exile. Arriving in Dayan, the last Chinese town before the Tibetan border, he is surprised to find it teeming with travelers, soldiers, and merchants. All have come for a spectacle unprecedented in this remote province: an eclipse of the sun commanded by the Emperor himself. When a Jesuit astronomer is found murdered in the home of the local magistrate, blame is hastily placed on Tibetan bandits. But Li Du suspects this was no random killing. Everyone has secrets: the ambitious magistrate, the powerful consort, the bitter servant, the irreproachable secretary, the East India Company merchant, the nervous missionary, and the traveling storyteller who can't keep his own story straight.Beyond the sloping roofs and festival banners, Li Du can see the mountain pass that will take him out of China forever. He must choose whether to leave, and embrace his exile, or to stay, and investigate a murder that the town of Dayan seems all too willing to forget"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cSt. Martin's Press |d2015|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 610 20 Jesuits|xCrimes against|vFiction. 650 0 Librarians|vFiction. 651 0 China|xHistory|yQing dynasty, 1644-1912|vFiction. 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/D6E5B763-7506-4FFF-A46D- FBCD1846697B 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttp:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=d6e5b763-7506-4fff-a46d- fbcd1846697b&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
