Inspector Shan is assigned an unusual case of potential corruption and murder in Bones of the Earth.

What do the execution of a corrupt government contractor, a fatal car accident, and the release of a “hail chaser” have in common? A link to the giant Five Claws dam project in a sacred valley in rural Tibet.

The unusual setting within Chinese-controlled Tibet is the best part of Bones of the Earth. The worst is that this book was marketed as the last Inspector Shan book. Despite that sad news, this book is still highly recommended to thriller reading getting a bit weary of the currently popular domestic suspense glut. This tale takes global politics on headfirst while also providing a unique look at a little understood culture. 4 stars!
