CRITICAL PRAISE FOR ELIOT PATTISON "A rich and multílayered story that mirrors the complexity of the surrounding land Pattison takes readers to a quietly troubled part of the world and peels away at the centuries of culture that have come into conflict." - san Francisco chronicle on water touching stone "Woven into this complex and suspenseful tale of murder, theft, spirituality, political oppression, and cultural collisions is the moving story of Shan's reunion with his son and the tales of two intriguing, Tibet-loving historical figures, a Chinese emperor and an early-twentieth-century British colonel. Erudite, eloquent, and entertaining, Pattison thrills both mystery enthusiasts and readers fascinated by, and concerned about, Tibet." -booklist on beautiful ghosts Vissza
