Ever since Garrison's inquiry started, the oddball lawyer has bounced in arid out with such a mixture of contradictions and dislocated hip talk that few knew or cared what he was trying to say.

...fellow named Lew, the Imperial censor and pivotal power in the palace intrigues of the capital. Lew soon turns up dead, murdered by a delayed-action poison. The judge, of course, finds his culprit after dealing with a clutch of lively characters: the blind and beautiful Lan-lee, who collects crickets; Zumurrud, a half-caste belly dancer; Mansur, the arrogant, sybaritic leader of Canton's Arab community...
