Quote:The Monkey and The Tiger includes two detective stories, "The Morning of the Monkey" and "The Night of the Tiger." In the first, a gibbon drops an emerald in the open gallery of Dee's official residence, leading the judge to discover a strangely mutilated body in the woods-and how it got there. In the second, Dee is traveling to the imperial capital to assume a new position when he is separated from his escort by a flood. Marooned in a large country house surrounded by fierce bandits, Dee confronts an apparition that helps him solve a mystery.Category:Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers, Peoples & Cultures - Fiction, Fiction Subjects, Historical Fiction, Asian Peoples & Cultures - Fiction & Literature, Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction, Other Mystery Categories, Occupations - Fiction, China - Historical Fiction, Chinese People - Fiction, Fiction - Other, Historical Mysteries, Judges - Fiction
