Publisher's Synopsis
A cross-cultural murder mystery that leads a burnt-out Boston detective to Mongolia, Scott Christiansen's first novel offers a rare introduction to life on the Mongolian steppe. A Boston detective and a nomadic Mongolian herder's lives are unforgettably intertwined when they come together to solve a series of murders and at the same time unravel an even deeper intrigue left over from the Cold War, when Mongolia was closely aligned with the Soviet Union. A thoughtful, well-paced novel that employs suspense, humour and romance.
