Overview

A priceless imperial treasure. A fortress of bandits. A magistrate whose justice reaches beyond the court. In Jade Tiger Rising, Judge Peng is drawn into a web of greenwood brotherhoods, hidden loyalties, and high-risk deception - where a single relic can ignite a war between heroes and outlaws. A Nine-Dragon Jade Cup has become the spark: coveted, defended, and used as leverage in a world where ""friendship"" can be a trap and an invitation to a banquet can be a death sentence. As plans are set in motion - ambushes, infiltrations, rooftop escapes, and a theft executed in the dark - Judge Peng must navigate the ruthless logic of the underworld while keeping his own mandate intact. This volume blends investigation, strategy, and dramatic confrontation in the tradition of classic Chinese crime epics: charismatic outlaws, coded signals, shifting alliances, and the rising threat of a ""jade-faced tiger"" reputation that changes the balance of power. Perfect for readers of: classic Chinese detective fiction (gong'an), historical mystery, wuxia-era intrigue, and high-stakes outlaw sagas. *** This book forms part of the complete Cases of Judge Peng (also available on Kindle and translated by Valentin Saric) and corresponds to Chapters 33 - 42 of the full original Chinese text.
