BEAUTIFUL GHOST by ELIOT PATTISON
|
SummaryIn an earlier time, Shan Tao Yun was an Inspector stationed
in Beijing. But he lost his position, his family and his
freedom when he ran afoul of a powerful figure high in the
Chinese government. Released unofficially from the work
camp to which he'd been sentenced, Shan has been living in
remote mountains of Tibet with a group of outlawed Buddhist
monks. Without status, official identity, or the freedom to
return to his former home in Beijing, Shan finds himself in
the midst of a baffling series of events. During a ceremony
meant to rededicate an ancient and long destroyed
monastery, Shan stumbles across evidence of a recent murder
in the ruins. Now Shan is being torn between some officials
who want his help to search the ruins while others want him
to disappear back into the mountains - with one group
holding out the tantalizing prospect of once again seeing
the son from whom Shan has been separated for many years. In a baffling situation where nothing is what it appears to
be, where the FBI, high ranking Beijing officials, the long
hidden monks, and the almost forgotten history of the
region all pull him in different directions, Shan finds his
devotion to the truth sorely tested. Traveling from Tibet
to Beijing to the U.S., he must find the links between
murder on two continents, a high profile art theft, and an
enigmatic, long-missing figure from history.
