"Shan Tao Yun is an exiled Chinese national, a former Beijing Investigator, on parole from the Tibetan gulag to which he had been consigned as punishment. He is leading a mule bearing a corpse over the slopes of Chomolungma - Everest - at the request of a local wisewoman who says the gods have assigned him this task. As he nears a road he comes upon a traffic accident below." "A government bus has overturned and illegal monks who were being transported to prison are escaping. Then Shan hears gunfire. Two women in an approaching sedan have been shot. One is the Chinese Minister of Tourism, the other, a blond Westerner, is an organizer of climbing expeditions. Though she dies in his arms, Shan is later met with denials that she is dead." Shan must find the killer, for his reward will be the life and sanity of his son, Ko, who is imprisoned in a Chinese "yeti" factory where men are routinely driven mad.

reviewed The Lord of Death (Inspector Shan Tao Yun Series #6) on January 10, 2010 The Lord of Death (Inspector Shan Tao Yun Series #6)
Eliot Pattison writes mysteries set in modern Tibet. His protagonist is a Han Chinese sentenced to imprisonment in Tibet after he investigated corruption in the highest levels of government instead of pretending the blindness that was expected of him. He sympathizes greatly with the Tibetan people whose culture has been almost but obliterated by the Chinese.
These books are dense with information and emotion. Its impossible not to feel some of the enormous loss that Tibet has suffered. All the characters are engaging even the most corrupt official. The spiritualism of the Tibetan monks is so appealing and frustrating at the same time as they endure the loss of their culture as part of a greater pattern rather than resist it. Yet this same endurance allows them to disconnect from the physical brutality of their captors.
