Description of  Bones of the Earth: An Inspector Shan Tao Yun Mystery

Readers of this series know that Pattison writes complex, at times challenging, mysteries which blend investigation with information about Tibet and China. If you haven't read an Inspector Shan novel, you're in for a treat- and don't worry, there's more than enough info here to get you going (but not too much for those who know it). This time out, Shan, who has been exiled to Tibet, is roped by Colonel Tan, the Chinese in charge of this area of Tibet, into looking into the Five Claws dam. A Tibet engineer has been executed for corruption related to the hydroelectric project but Tan and Shan both believe something's not quite right. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Not always an easy read, this one will make you work for the answers, which makes it, for me at least, well worth my time.
