Synopsis

The Chinese Gold Murders takes us back to the beginning of Judge Dee’s career when, thirty-three years of age, he had been appointed to his first post in the provinces, viz. that of magistrate of Peng-lai, a port city on the northeast coast of Shantung Province.

Judge Dee must look into the murder of his predecessor. His job is complicated by the simultaneous disappearance of his chief clerk and the new bride of a wealthy shipowner.

Meanwhile, a tiger is terrorizing the district, the ghost of the murdered magistrate stalks the tribunal, a prostitute has a secret message for Dee, and the body of a murdered monk is discovered in the wrong grave. In the end the judge with his deft powers of deduction, uncovers the one cause for all of these seemingly unrelated events.
