Bone Mountain

Deep in the heart of Tibet, disgraced ex-Beijing police inspector Shan is on the run from the brutal Chinese army. He had agreed to lead an expedition to return a long-lost idol to a distant valley, an act that, according to Tibetan prophecy, will save this sacred place. But the pilgrimage turns into a desperate flight when the monk guiding them is murdered and Shan discovers that the idol was stolen from the Chinese army, who is now in hot pursuit. Tense and moving, filled with the spiritual and geographic landscapes of the oppressed land of Tibet, Bone Mountain is a spectacular achievement from a rising star in modern crime fiction.
