A Death In Passing
In Nineteenth century Burma spirits still walk amongst the Burmese people--now murder comes with them.
At a nineteenth century spirit festival someone kills the most powerful spirit dancer in all of Burma and sets the crowds seeking justice—or more likely revenge.
Aung, the venerable singer of the king’s royal puppet troupe, with the aid of the not-quite-helpful living puppet, Yamin, must weed through a field of too many suspects to find the real killer. But in a land of living spirits failure not only means the wrong person pays the price, such an ill-fated event can bring the spirits’ ill-will on everyone in attendance.
