Summoned to a remote control town from the invisible lamasery where he lives, Shan, formerly an investigator in Beijing, must save a comatose man from execution for two murders where the victims’ hands have been removed. Upon entrance, he discovers that the suspect is not Tibetan but Navajo. The man has come with his niece to seek ancestral ties between their people and the traditional Bon. The recent murders are just part of an chain of deaths. Together with his friends, the monks Gendun and Lokesh, Shan solves the riddle of Dragon Hill, the place “where in fact the world commences.”
