“Li Kao may have a slight flaw in his character but the book has none. I recommend it unconditionally and I predict Barry Hughart has quite a future as a fantasy writer.”—Anne McCaffrey When the children of his village were struck with a mysterious illness, Number Ten Ox sought a wiseman to save them. He found master Li Kao, a scholar with a slight flaw in his character. Together they set out to find the Great Root of Power, the only possible cure. The quest led them to a host of truly memorable characters, multiple wonders, incredible adventures—and strange coincidences which were really not coincidences at all. And it involved them in an ancient crime that still perturbed the serenity of Heaven. Simply and charmingly told, this is a wry tale, a sly tale, and a story of wisdom delightfully askew. Once read, its marvels and beauty will not easily fade from the mind. The author claims that this is a novel of an ancient China that never was. But, oh . . . it should have been!

In einem Kloster geschieht ein Mord, unheimliche tanzende Mönche suchen die Bauern heim, und eine mysteriöse alte Schrift taucht auf. Da beauftragt der Abt Meister Li und seinen Adlatus »Nummer Zehn der Ochse« mit der Klärung der Fälle. Die beiden stoßen auf eine Spur, die weit in die Vergangenheit reicht: Einst trieb hier der »Lachende Prinz« sein Unwesen, ein Wahnsinniger, der mit Magie und Menschen experimentierte. Als Li das Grab des Prinzen leer vorfindet, nimmt er die Verfolgung auf – eine wilde Jagd, die geradewegs in die Gefilde der Hölle führt.
