Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A caravan vanishes. Then another. Then a third. The road remembers everything - if you know how to ask it.A year after solving the impossible murder at Frost Pavilion, Xie Lang Yun's reputation has begun to travel ahead of him. When merchant Meng Zhaolin's brother disappears along with an entire caravan - the third to vanish on the same fog-bound mountain pass in a single year - he seeks out the wandering swordsman for help no magistrate has managed to provide.There are no bodies. No wreckage. No ransom demands. Only silence, and a guide who flinches every time the fog rolls in.Posing as a hired sword among the fourth caravan to attempt the crossing, Xie Lang Yun must untangle a mystery that moves with the road itself - shifted trail markers, a route grown mysteriously longer, and an organization calculating enough to make thirty-one travelers disappear without leaving a single clue for three separate investigations to find.The Fourth Caravan is the second novel in the Wandering Blade Mysteries, trading the locked room for the open road - a fair-play mystery steeped in wuxia atmosphere, where the detective's only advantage is patience, observation, and the willingness to walk into danger everyone else has learned to avoid.Perfect for readers of classic mystery puzzles and wuxia adventure alike.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Luoyang, capital of the Silk Road, where a hundred languages fill the markets and a thousand secrets hide behind painted gates.On the night of the Lantern Festival, merchant Kang Boyan is found dead in his own garden, poisoned during his own banquet, the gate barred from within. Nine guests remain when the crossbar is finally broken: a Persian trade envoy publicly humiliated hours earlier, a son disowned two years before and never invited, a business partner overheard threatening the dead man, and a widow whose grief arrives just a little too composed.Su Xian has no official rank in Magistrate Pei's court. As a woman, she is tolerated in the interrogation room only because he vouches for her, and one serious misstep could end that arrangement for good. What she has instead is a mountain clan's discipline for reading a room, reconstructing a scene, and noticing exactly what everyone else has learned to overlook.Every suspect has a motive. Every motive falls apart under careful questioning. And the deeper Su Xian digs, the further back the truth reaches, past the garden, past the festival, into a decade-old crime the dead man built his entire fortune on covering up.Somewhere among the household's most familiar, most unremarkable faces waits an answer no one, investigator or reader, will see coming until it is far too late to stop it.A richly researched historical mystery set against the real cosmopolitan splendor of Tang Dynasty China, THE NINE LANTERNS is for readers who love a fair-play whodunit, a slow-burn reveal, and a detective who has to out-think an entire household to survive her own investigation.Perfect for fans of Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee, Laura Joh Rowland, and anyone who wants their historical mystery with real teeth.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Thirteen strangers. One locked room. A secret worth killing for - twice.When an early mountain storm seals off the only road down, Xie Lang Yun finds shelter at Frost Pavilion alongside twelve other stranded travelers. By the second night, one of them is dead - in a room barred from the inside, its window untouched by snow, its impossible circumstances defying every rational explanation.The victim carried a sealed box up the mountain, and he is not the only guest at Frost Pavilion hiding who he truly is. As Xie Lang Yun is drawn into the investigation, old debts surface: a fallen martial sect, a betrayal decades in the making, and a killer - or two - whose motives run deeper than any single guest suspects.Written in the atmospheric, restrained tradition of classic wuxia fiction and structured as a fair-play locked-room mystery, The Thirteenth Guest of Frost Pavilion asks readers to solve the puzzle alongside a wandering swordsman who has his own violent past to reckon with - before the thaw comes, and Frost Pavilion's secrets scatter down the mountain with its departing guests.Perfect for readers of classic locked-room mysteries and wuxia fiction alike. …
