The Strange Case of the Disappearing Dragon (An Ennin Mystery #32)

'Very similar to Holmes and Watson... Cleverly written and filled with facts regarding old Japan....' AMAZON / Eileen Sedgwick

A Buddhist priest reports the disappearance of a large golden statue of a dragon, from on top of his temple roof... A drunken old farmer swears that he saw this dragon fly above him - and that it not only spoke to him, but also breathed fire...

Meanwhile, a gang of feared Japanese, Chinese and Korean wokou pirates are staying in the coastal area. And yet, they seem strangely reluctant to cause any trouble...

Accompanied by his faithful servant (and narrator), Kukai, Ennin investigates...

This is the 32nd Ennin mystery.
