Items related to The Lord of Death
Shan Tao Yun is an exiled Chinese national, a former Beijing Investigator, on parole from the Tibetan gulag to which he had been consigned as punishment. He is leading a mule bearing a corpse over the slopes of Chomolungma - Everest - at the request of a local wisewoman who says the gods have assigned him this task. As he nears a road he comes upon a traffic accident below.
A government bus has overturned and illegal monks who were being transported to prison are escaping. Then Shan hears gunfire. Two women in an approaching sedan have been shot. One is the Chinese Minister of Tourism, the other, a blond Westerner, is an organizer of climbing expeditions. Though she dies in his arms, Shan is later met with denials that she is dead.
Shan must find the killer, for his reward will be the life and sanity of his son, Ko, who is imprisoned in a Chinese "yeti" factory where men are routinely driven mad.
