The Whispering Leaves of Wangfu Mountain
A Qing-dynasty Tale of Murder, Deception, and Ancient Secrets

I had received a cryptic letter from Master Huang, a revered collector of rare books and scrolls, requesting my expertise in uncovering the truth behind a mysterious murder that had shaken the sleepy town of Wangfu.
