Despite having languished in prison for treason, Detective Dee is released and charged with investigating the strange deaths of officials working on a monument that's intended to mark the inauguration of Empress Wu Zetian. Dee soon finds himself at the centre of a maelstrom of plots and murderous animosities. Who is conspiring to disrupt the coronation of China's first female ruler?
