In the fourth installment of Robert Van Gulik's ancient Chinese mystery series based on historical court records, detective Judge Dee is appointed to the magistrate of Pei-chow -- a distant frontier district in the barren north of the ancient Chinese Empire. It is here that he is faced with three strange and disturbing crimes: the theft of precious jewels, the disappearance of a girl in love, and the fiendish murder involving the nude, headless body of a woman. And even more curious, the crimes seem to be linked together by clues from a popular game of the period, the Seven Board.A delight to the connoisseur (San Francisco Chronicle),The Chinese Nail Murders was first published in the 1950s. Timeless and exotic, it is now reissued by Perennial and includes charming illustrations and an epilogue that details the origins of each case and how the author discovered them.

Fourteen years ago, Dr. David Beck's young wife Elizabeth was horribly murdered by a serial killer who is now in jail. Or was she? Someone who looks just like Elizabeth has been communicating with David via computer, causing him to wonder whether Elizabeth's father, a cop, misidentified the body that is buried in a grave with Elizabeth's name on it. Things get complicated when David is falsely accused of a gruesome murder himself. Who or what is behind these strange and awful events? With the aid of his sister's girlfriend, a plus-sized model named Shauna, and his high-priced celebrity defense lawyer, David tries to get to the bottom of things.
