A wealthy Chinese businessman living in England agrees to build a small museum for the department Arnold works for, in exchange for three weeks of Arnold's time. The book involves a Chinese society of corrupt businessmen who will do anything for wealth, and who incidentally vie to have the best collection of antiquities in the country.
I enjoy Arnold Landon books because of the passion he has for antiquities, especially the old stone and wood of ancient buildings. He's the same in this book, however I was disappointed. The author created a situation, then solved it for us, but without laying out enough clues to make me really care whodunit. And Arnold really didn't do much of anything; things that transpired around him.
