{"product_id":"9780060751395","title":"Chinese Nail Murders (Judge Dee Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the fourth installment of Robert Van Gulik's ancient Chinese mystery series based on historical court records, detective Judge Dee is appointed to the magistrate of Pei-chow — a distant frontier district in the barren north of the ancient Chinese Empire. It is here that he is faced with three strange and disturbing crimes: the theft of precious jewels, the disappearance of a girl in love, and the fiendish murder involving the nude, headless body of a woman. And even more curious, the crimes seem to be linked together by clues from a popular game of the period, the Seven Board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A delight to the connoisseur\" (\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003cb\u003eThe Chinese Nail Murders\u003c\/b\u003e was first published in the 1950s.
