excellence to detail
mr. pattison knows his subject and he supplies details to show that he knows the heart and spirit of the material without bogging the reader down with details - this series of books about a former high level chinese investigator that was put into a chinese prison camp and in this book is now free but living in tibet with monks and the true people of tibet oft times takes many improbable twists and turns but they all prove essential - a great read as a mystery and also to learn more about the tibetan people and their culture -
