506 Access limited to subscribing institutions.
520 "The adventures of Li-lin, a Daoist priestess with the
unique ability to see the spirit world, continue in the
thrilling follow-up to the critically-acclaimed historical
urban fantasy The Girl with Ghost Eyes. It's the end of
the Nineteenth Century. San Francisco's cobblestone
streets are haunted, but Chinatown has an unlikely
protector in a young Daoist priestess named Li-lin. Using
only her martial arts training, spiritual magic, a sword
made from peachwood, and the walking, talking spirit of a
human eye, Li-lin stands alone to defend her immigrant
community from supernatural threats. But when the body of
a young girl is brought to the deadhouse Li-lin oversees
for a local group of gangsters, she faces her most
bewildering-and potentially dangerous-assignment yet. The
nine-year-old has died from suffocation . . . specifically
by flowers growing out of her nose and mouth. Li-lin
suspects Gong Tau, a dirty and primitive form of dark
magic. But who is behind the spell, and why, will take her
on a perilous journey deep into a dangerous world of
ghosts and spirits. With hard historical realism and
meticulously researched depictions of Chinese monsters and
magic that have never been written about in the English
language, The Girl with No Face draws from the action-
packed cinema of Hong Kong to create a compelling and
unforgettable tale of historical fantasy and Chinese lore"

Sn Francisco . . . A fresh take on urban fantasy that kept
me up late to finish." --#1 New York Times -bestselling

fantasy...again brings Chinese folklore vibrantly to life.

lin and her allies." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans of urban
