The Skull Mantra is ranked as a novel about a people and a place--the Tibetans of the high Himalayas--as it is a gripping thriller. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe corpse is missing its head and is dressed in American clothes. Found by a Tibetan prison work gang on a windy cliff, the grisly remains clearly belong to someone too important for Chinese authorities to bury and forget. So the case is handed to veteran police inspector Shan Tao Yun. Methodical, clever Shan is the best man for the job, but he too is a prisoner, deported to Tibet for offending someone high up in Beijing's power structure. Granted a temporary release, Shan is soon pulled into the Tibetan people's desperate fight for its sacred mountains and the Chinese regime's blood-soaked policies. Then, a Buddhist priest is arrested, a man Shan knows is innocent. Now time is running out for Shan to find the real killer.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Minotaur Books","offers":[{"title":"Skull Mantra | Eliot Pattison | Paperback | 9780312385392 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1774192","offer_id":49674724475032,"sku":"1774192","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71dLQECydUL.jpg?v=1786554515","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/skull-mantra","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
