Lord Of Death: A Shan Tao Yun Investigation - Plot & Excerpts
Yates stumbled, landing in a pile of long limbs and ragged hair at Jin’s feet. “This foreigner,” Shan declared, with a furtive glance toward the cartons to make certain they gave no evidence of the hollow inside, “is a smuggler.” He hovered over Yates, as if to prevent his escape. “I have discovered that he brought several crates of food into our country and declared them as climbing equipment that would be reexported after the season. Evading the payment of customs fees is a crime against the People’s Republic.” Jin seemed a bit frightened, glancing uneasily from Shan to Yates. Then he rose to the occasion as Shan began carrying full boxes from the front of the stack and dropping them at his feet. A case of powdered chocolate. A case of energy bars. A case of oatmeal. “A serious crime,” Jin affirmed with a new air of authority as, with a tentative finger, he pushed open the top flap of a carton. “Smugglers go to prison in our country. If you are lucky, Mr. Yates, you will only be fined and denied future entry.”
