Chinese Maze Murders

Poisoned plums, a cryptic scroll picture, passionate love letters, and a hidden murderer with a penchant for torturing and killing women lead Judge Dee to the heart of the Governor s garden maze and the answers to three interwoven mysteries. The Chinese Maze Murders represents Robert van Gulik s first venture into writing suspense novels after the success of Dee Gong An, his translation of an anonymous Chinese detective novel from the sixteenth century.
