Description

Two monks have been sentenced to death - for the murder of a Chinese priest within a temple mausoleum... Their only explanation for what happened - that one of the demon-guardian statues, positioned either side of a large golden statue of the Buddha, came to life and struck the fatal blow with its sword... With the scheduled date of execution just a few days away, can Ennin unravel the complicated strands of this mystery in time... ? This is the 6th Ennin Mystery. Amazon reviews for ENNIN 'Stevens keeps on delivering... This is a great series. Anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes will enjoy the similarities in Stevens' characters and Doyle's. Fresh plots, exotic locale, who-done-its, and a unique set of protagonists. I've read all the Ennin series and look forward to each new adventure. Highly recommended...
