The Strange Cases of Magistrate Pao: Chinese Tales of Crime and Detection

by Leon Comber, Lo Koon Chiu
₱440.55
The Strange Cases of Magistrate Pao: Chinese Tales of Crime and Detection
The Strange Cases of Magistrate Pao: Chinese Tales of Crime and Detection

Ancient Chinese sleuthing, moral nuance, timeless intrigue.

If you're into classic detective stories with a twist of historical charm, "The Strange Cases of Magistrate Pao" will transport you to ancient China. Magistrate Pao is an iconic figure, revered for his unyielding sense of justice and ingenuity in solving crimes. The book's dive into traditional Chinese values, along with its rich narrative of suspense, makes for a refreshingly different read from the usual mystery. You'll not only be entertained but also gain insights into the ancient Chinese judicial system.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
