Very Rare in dj, Ow VG/vgdj: [6]+290pp. Set in Peking, the hero is a young Englishman in Chinese customs service and the villain is the Empress Dowager. He visits a lost Buddhist temple beyond the Western Hills where he finds "thrills and wealth and love" and adventure in Mongolia [dj blurb]. After viewing a "movie" of events involving the murder of his ancestor a hundred years earlier who was the British agent for the smuggling out of China of the treasure of the eponymous Ho, he resolves to seek the blue-eyed Manchu lady who is the only living descendant of said ancestor now serving as the hand maiden of the Empress Cixi. Two years later the Boxer rebellion breaks out but our hero remains outside the legations and become the disciple of the blind seer providing spiritual advice to the empress Cixi. He himself becomes the medium for info on the advancing allied relief column toward Peking, and assists in casting the horoscope of the Empress predicting her flight from the palace when the allies relieve the besieged foreigners. So basically this novel gives us the inside story of what Empress Cixi was up to during the Boxer troubles/massacres/legations siege. It has a whiff of credibility when the details of our English hero's presence and love interest are disregarded [He speaks and writes Mandarin, Hakka, and Manchu and with a little make up passes for a Chinese at court] and Cixi's known belief in fate prognostication and spirit seances to inform her politics is considered. / Author was British writer of short stories, novels, biographies and esoteric books, under the names of L.
