Teleported halfway around the world in pursuit of a magical pearl, Pathfinder venture-captain and master detective Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard Radvoan find themselves stepping out into a crime scene. Their contact has been murdered, and only by joining Inspector Takeda and the serving girl Kazuko do the foreigners have any chance of finding the murderer and finishing their mission. But as the body count rises, and the mysterious tattooed gangs of Minkai begin to turn on each other, both men may find themselves seriously out of their depth. From fan-favorite writer Dave Gross, author of the Pathfinder Tales novels Prince of Wolves, Master of Devils, and Queen of Thorns, comes a brand new Radovan and Jeggare mystery set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
