      About This Book

      Judge Dee and his lieutenant, Chiao Tai, establish themselves incognito among the gangsters and rogues that inhabit the underworld of Wei- ping to reveal the ugly secret hidden in the four exquisite panels of the Lacquer Screen. This baffling case, involving suicide, blackmail, and murder, takes place at the beginning of Judge Dee's career and proves to be as strange as any he encounters during his long professional life.
