Judge Dee at Work Eight Chinese Detective Stories by Robert Van Gulik

Judge Dee presided over his Imperial Chinese court with a brand of Confucian justice. A near-mythic figure in China, he distinguished himself as a tribunal magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger. This book contains eight short stories which cover a decade during which the judge served in four different provinces of the Tang Empire.

"Judge Dee belongs in that select group of fictional detectives headed by the renowned Sherlock HolmesI assure you it is a compliment not given frivolously." - Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times"

Robert van Gulik (1910 - 67) was a Dutch diplomat and an authority on Chinese history and culture. His many works include sixteen Judge Dee mysteries, a study of the gibbon in China, and two books on the Chinese lute.
