This collection contains eight cases from different stages of Judge Dee’s career between 663 and 674. The stories take him from his first district at Peng-lai through Han-yuan, Poo-yang and Lan-fang, allowing the collection to connect incidents that occur between the longer novels.
The cases range from suspected military treason and official fraud to the murder of a poet and crimes concealed within ordinary households. Together they show Dee adapting the same principles of evidence, interrogation and administrative responsibility to provinces with different customs and political pressures.
