The Chinese Nail Murders de Robert Van Gulik

The Chinese Nail Murders: Penguin Modern Classics - Crime & Espionage

Autor Robert Van Gulik
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iul 2026
A superb murder mystery set in the snowy wastes of ancient northern China
Judge Dee is again in relentless pursuit of evil in one of van Gulik's most strange, atmospheric and ingenious murder mysteries. Set in a remote, freezing part of China, the novel twists together a girl's disappearance, the theft of some jewels and a horrifying beheading. And, just to make things worse, there seems to be some link with these events and a 'Seven Board', a popular game in the region.
There are so many pleasures in the Judge Dee stories. Van Gulik was a great connoisseur of Tang Dynasty China and he brings this expertise to bear brilliantly in The Chinese Nail Murders.

Notă biografică

Robert van Gulik (1910-67) was a Dutch diplomat who spent almost all of his life in the Far East, and was an authority on Chinese history and culture. His many works include sixteen Judge Dee mysteries, set in Tang Dynasty China, a study of the gibbon in China and two books on the Chinese lute.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In 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.
"A delight to the connoisseur" (San Francisco Chronicle), The Chinese Nail Murders was first published in the 1950s. Timeless and exotic, it is now reissued by Perennial and includes charming illustrations and an epilogue that details the origins of each case and how the author discovered them.
