Pro Reviews: The Skull Mantra

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    I've seldom read a novel that more effectively captures the soul of its setting, in all of its contradictions, difficulties and beauty.

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    There is no faster way to get under the skin of a country in turmoil than with the needle of a murder investigation. Nothing I've read or seen about how China has systematically crushed the soul of Tibet has been as effective as THE SKULL MANTRA, a debut thriller by a veteran journalist.

Publisher Notes: The Skull Mantra

  • Winner of the 2001 Edgar Award for Best First Novel, Skull Mantra was a sensation when first published and received wide acclaim from critics and readers alike. The Skull Mantra was ranked with Gorky Park and Smilla's Sense of Snow as a novel as much about a people and a place--the Tibetans of the high Himalayas--as it is a gripping thriller. The corpse is missing its head and is dressed in American clothes. Found by a Tibetan prison work gang on a windy cliff, the grisly remains clearly belong to someone too important for Chinese authorities to bury and forget. So the case is handed to veteran police inspector Shan Tao Yun. Methodical, clever Shan is the best man for the job, but he too is a prisoner, deported to Tibet for offending someone high up in Beijing's power structure. Granted a temporary release, Shan is soon pulled into the Tibetan people's desperate fight for its sacred mountains and the Chinese regime's blood-soaked policies. Then, a Buddhist priest is arrested, a man Shan knows is innocent. Now time is running out for Shan to find the real killer.
