The past and the present collide in Pattison's ninth Tibet-set Shan Tao Yun adventure (after Soul of the Fire). Now the constable of an isolated Tibetan town, Shan isn't sure what surprises him most: the report of a nun being assaulted by ghosts or what he discovers at the scene. He soon realizes this politically charged case has tentacles reaching to the highest echelons of the Chinese government in Beijing and may be related to a Tibetan refugee program.
