Brought back into print in the 1990s to wide acclaim, re-designed new editions of Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee Mysteries are now available.

Written by a Dutch diplomat and scholar during the 1950s and 1960s, these lively and historically accurate mysteries have entertained a devoted following for decades. Set during the T'ang dynasty, they feature Judge Dee, a brilliant and cultured Confucian magistrate disdainful of personal luxury and corruption, who cleverly selects allies to help him navigate the royal courts, politics, and ethnic tensions in imperial China. Robert van Gulik modeled Judge Dee on a magistrate of that name who lived in the seventh century, and he drew on stories and literary conventions of Chinese mystery writing dating back to the Sung dynasty to construct his ingenious plots.

Murder in Canton takes place in the year 680, as Judge Dee, recently promoted to lord chief justice, is sent incognito to Canton to investigate the disappearance of a court censor. With the help of his trusted lieutenants Chiao Tai and Tao Gan, and that of a clever blind girl who collects crickets, Dee solves a complex puzzle of political intrigue and murder through the three separate subplots the vanished censor, the Smaragdine dancer, and the Golden Bell.

An expert on the art and erotica as well as the literature, religion, and politics of China, van Gulik also provides charming illustrations to accompany his engaging and entertaining mysteries.

Postpartum mommies! Very flattering!!
Special Size: with Contrast Trim, Size: Medium, Color: Black/White
Quality item!! I would compare these to CRZ YOGA. They do not stretch, not see through, and feel buttery soft. I have only used them working out in a reformer pilates class in which I did not notice the leggings falling or the bra stretching. I would size down on the bra. I am a postpartum mommy and purchased a medium and I am nursing. It still was a little too big for my liking. So I went with a small on this order and it fit perfectly. The white lining on the bra and leggings I feel bring a flattering look to my waist for those ladies looking that that aspect. They pulled in all the right parts without creating any spill over. It might not be useful for a high impact workout like running or spinning but any weight lifting or Pilates-type classes it would be perfect for! I bought another set I love them so much. I ran them in the washer and hung dry them as I do all my fitness clothing items.

Tight band
Special Size: without Contrast Trim, Size: Small, Color: Black
The band is a little tight on my ribs but not uncomfortable enough not to wear it. I would suggest sizing up
