The eunuch Mercy, his well-named charming wife Dragonfly, Doctor Pork, the proud Mrs Aconite and a poisonous plant… are all involved in the same obscure cases : mysterious murders, profaned cemeteries, supernatural events… All of Mandarin Tan’s wisdom and acumen would be necessary to solve these cases in the early 17th century Vietnam during which period Portuguese enclaves and Jesuit missions were first time encountered.
