Publication: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1959, New York

First U. S. edition. Fine in price-clipped dust jacket, lightly soiled on the rear panel, and with light wear to the spine ends. 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 local 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 to be in the wrong grave. Judge Dee uncovers the one cause for all of these seemingly unrelated events.
