Dennis Wong 
Revenge From Beyond [PDF ebook] 

REVENGE FROM BEYOND is a gripping detective story set in Ancient China. It has a full cast of personalities and a mixture of motivations: a beautiful widow, an upright but inexperienced magistrate, a disaffected son, an advisor to the Emperor, and an active group of towns-people anxious to make their living in peace. It includes authentic details of ancient laws, court practices and judicial punishments.The Author of REVENGE FROM BEYOND freely acknowledges his debt to the late Robert Van Gulik, the author of many detective novels with a Chinese background. Dennis Wong’s book, however, stands on its own, supported by a strong plot and good characterization.-Proverse Prize Judges.
