A supernatural mystery set in Singapore featuring a "detective whose
beat reaches to the fringes of Heaven and Hell," by the author of Snake
Agent (Booklist).
No mortal has ever heard of the Book, and few in Heaven even believe it
is real. Instead, they regard the stories of a bound volume older than
time itself as something of a creation myth. But Mhara, the Emperor of
Heaven, knows the Book is very real, very powerful, and very much
missing. It has a mind of its own, and it appears to have wandered
off--taking the secrets of the universe with it.
To find it, Mhara calls Detective Inspector Chen, a supernatural sleuth
with previous experience in saving the universe. Chen has a lot on his
plate at the moment: His wife is pregnant, his demonic partner is
tracking the movement of an immortal horde, and he hasn't had a vacation
in years. But for the sake of the Emperor, he'll do his best to return
order to the cosmos. If he doesn't, who will?
The Iron Khan is the final volume of the Detective Inspector Chen
Novels, which begin with Snake Agent and The Demon and the City.
