When a headless corpse is found on a remote Tibetan mountainside, veteran Inspector Shan Tao Yun might seem the perfect candidate to solve the crime - except that he has been stripped of rank and imprisoned in the gulag for offending the Party in Beijing. Desperate to close the case before the arrival of high-profile American tourists, the district commander has no choice but to grant a temporary release from prison for the brilliant Shan. Embittered about everything except his compulsion to find the truth, Shan soon discovers that the victim was a man notorious for persecuting Tibetan priests. Gradually, Shan exposes a massive crime machine, which can only be stopped with the help of an unlikely alliance of Americans, aged monks, and even a sorcerer. With the epic struggles of the Tibetan people as a backdrop, Shan's travails present a triumph of human values over the starkest adversity. Ultimately, THE SKULL MANTRA is a tale of great hope and great tradgedy, of incredible agreed and stalwart selflessness, of the gulf between East and West, and of the wider gulf between those who live for enlightenment and those who live for power.
