Synopsis: A delectable collection of cozy puzzle mysteries starring the wonderful Chinese sleuth Judge Dee, whom the Los Angeles Times ranked with Sherlock Holmes

The eight short stories in Judge Dee at Work cover a decade during which the judge served in four different provinces of the T'ang Empire. From the suspected treason of a general in the Chinese army to the murder of a lonely poet in his garden pavilion, the cases here are among the most memorable in the Judge Dee series.
