During the Mid-Autumn Festival at Chin-hwa, Judge Dee joins a gathering of scholars that includes a celebrated poetess, a Zen monk renowned for calligraphy and a former president of the imperial academy. A student is found dead amid rumours of a fox demon, and a young dancer is murdered before she can perform for the guests.
Dee follows the cases from academic households and a high-class brothel to the shrine of the Black Fox, uncovering passions and betrayals that began many years earlier. The novel was published in the United States under the alternative title The Fox-Magic Murders.
