San Francisco's cobblestone streets are haunted, but Chinatown has an unlikely protector in a young Daoist priestess named Li-lin. Using only her martial arts training, spiritual magic, a sword made from peachwood, and the walking, talking spirit of a human eye, Li-lin stands alone to defend her immigrant community from supernatural threats. But when the body of a young girl is brought to the deadhouse Li-lin oversees for a local group of gangsters, she faces her most bewildering-and potentially dangerous-assignment yet. The nine-year-old has died from suffocation. . . specifically by flowers growing out of her nose and mouth. Li-lin suspects Gong Tau, a dirty and primitive form of dark magic. But who is behind the spell, and why, will take her on a perilous journey deep into a dangerous world of ghosts and spirits."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $v Fiction. $9 198936 650 0 $a Taoist priests $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Guides (Spiritualism) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Martial artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mythology, Chinese $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. $9 199162 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chinatown (San Francisco, Calif.) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Fantasy fiction. $9 802181 655 0 $a Paranormal fiction. $9 802195 655 0 $a Historical fiction. $9 802185 655 0 $a Martial arts fiction. 800 1 $a Boroson, M.
