In the last years of the dying Qing Empire, a courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Her death is clouded by rumors of foxes, which are believed to lure people by transforming themselves into beautiful women and handsome men. Bao, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead womanâs identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet theyâve remained tantalizingly out of reachâuntil, perhaps, now. Meanwhile, a family who owns a famous Chinese medicine shop can cure ailments but canât escape the curse that afflicts themâtheir eldest sons die before their twenty-fourth birthdays. When a disruptively winsome servant named Snow enters their household, the familyâs luck seems to changeâor does it? Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all sheâs a mother seeking vengeance for her lost child. Hunting a murderer, she will follow the trail from northern China to Japan, while Bao follows doggedly behind. Navigating the myths and misconceptions of fox spirits, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur. 541 $d 20240214. 650 7 $a Missing persons $x Fiction. 650 $a Mythology, Chinese $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Foxes $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 4 $a Manchuria (China) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Spirits $x Fiction. 655 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 856 $u https://thumbnail.midwesttape.com/16123476_180.jpg $3 View cover art 941 $a 1 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20240316010608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86C221B2E35A11EEADAC431435ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
