The author provides much interesting information about Tibet and its culture and the way it has been destroyed by the Chinese invasion. The mystery was a bit garbled and convoluted and I kept losing track of who the characters were. Pattison writes beautifully and compellingly when speaking of Tibet, its people, and Buddhism. I will read his other novels only because of this and not for the mysteries.
