296 pp. "A madman, convinced that Buddhism is a "heathen religion," sets out to destroy the sanctity of the religion and its most visited sites. Murders at a monastery at the foot of Mount Everest and at the largest Buddhist stupa in Indonesia scare tourists away from these inspiring sites. International investigator Barry Ross is on the case, following the murderer through the Himalayas. This fast-paced mystery allows an in-depth look at Indonesian arts, Nepalese customs, and Buddhism, with the morning mists of Mount Everest serving as a dramatic backdrop for the riveting conclusion."
