Early in his career, Judge Dee visits a senior magistrate who shows him a beautiful lacquer screen on which a scene of lovers has been mysteriously altered to show the man stabbing his lover. The magistrate fears he is losing his mind and will murder his own wife. Meanwhile, a banker has inexplicably killed himself, and a lovely lady has allowed Dee's lieutenant, Chiao Tai, to believe she is a courtesan. Dee and Chiao Tai go incognito among a gang of robbers to solve this mystery, and find the leader of the robbers is more honorable than the magistrate. One of the most satisfyingly devious of the Judge Dee novels, with unusual historical richness in its portrayal of the China of the T'ang dynasty.---New York Times Book Review Even Judge Dee is baffled by Robert van Gulik's new mysteries in The Lacquer Screen. Disguised as a petty crook, he spends a couple of precarious days in the headquarters of the underworld, hobnobbing with the robber king. Dee's lively thieving friends furnish some vital clues to this strange and fascinating jigsaw.---The Spectator So scrupulously in the classic Chinese manner yet so nicely equipped with everything to satisfy the modern reader.---New York Times Robert Van Gulik (1910-67) was a Dutch diplomat and an authority on Chinese history and culture. He drew his plots from the whole body of Chinese literature, especially from the popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent products in this gift set
My husband tried a travel sized set of Atwater skin care products and has been really liking them. His skin has improved overall and he finds the routine of using these three basic products very doable and understandable. He always thought his body bar was all he needed for personal cleanliness, so it’s been a big change. The facial scrub and moisturizer combo keeps his skin clean and hydrated. His face looks brighter and smoother. I have noticed that the eye cream has reduced puffiness and under eye bags. This gift set of the same products he has been using only in full size is a great value for the size and quality of the products. He will be thrilled to get this!

Great set of skincare
This set of skincare designed for men comes in an attractive box that is designed for gifting. The products are all high quality. My favorite of the set is probably the eye cream since it’s unscented and is very moisturizing for the eye area even though it’s not a very heavy cream. The face scrub is not harsh but it’s a gentle exfoliating cleanser. The face moisturizer doesn’t irritate my face and absorbs quickly making my skin smooth.

Rich, masculine, woody experience that differs from most body washes
This soap is almost meditative. Rich Woody, smoky, deep experience. Masculine. Not overly fresh, but extremely pleasant. This lathers and cleans better than most soaps. I’ve tried. I use a lot of Cremo brand products. Their soaps sud well and feel great. This one really caught me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. If you’re tired of the normal synthetic body wash smells, give this a try.
