When the body of an American archaeologist is found floating in the Yangzi River, Ministry of Public Security agent Liu Hulan and her husband, American attorney David Stark, are dispatched to Site 518 to investigate. As Hulan scrutinizes this death—or is it a murder?—David, on behalf of the National Relics Bureau, tries to discover who has stolen from the site an artifact that may prove to the world China’s claim that it is the oldest uninterrupted civilization on earth.
This artifact is not only an object of great monetary value but one that is emblematic of the very soul of China. Everyone—from the Chinese government, to a religious cult, to an unscrupulous American art collector—wants this relic, and some, it seems, may be willing to kill to get it. At stake in this investigation is control of China’s history and national pride, and even stability between China and the United States.
The troubled Hulan must overcome her own fears of failure, while David tries desperately to break through the shell that has built up around his wife. As Hulan and David are enmeshed in international schemes for power and the turbulence of their own relationship, these hunters after the truth become the hunted—in a fast-driving narrative set against the backdrop of the building of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest and most expensive project China has undertaken since the Great Wall and the subject of great international debate. It is here, in the heart of the Three Gorges, that David and Hulan will battle their enemies and their own natures to see who will win China’s dragon bones.
Dragon Bones combines ancient myth with contemporary anxieties concerning religious fanaticism and terrorism to tell a story of love, betrayal, history, ecology, greed—and gory murder.

Because I have spent a significant amount of time in Asia and continue to be interested in both China and new conspiratorial murder mystery stories, I enjoy Lisa See’s works. If you’re like me, an otherwise peace-loving reader, who loves unexpected and unpredictably horrifying, facts intertwined with fiction-styled, intercultural stories, See’s mastered all of these and you’ll be grateful to discover her novels!
But, if you’re looking for deeply complex character development, look elsewhere.
Powerful but deeply flawed

This story is very much high adventure, with an ending that has both melodramatic confrontations and a deep dive into Chinese history. There are many twists and turns in the plot, so carefully written that the reader is really a step ahead of the characters. I kept interrupting the reading to go to Wikipedia and look up some of the historical persons and artifacts discussed. As always, Lisa See has carefully researched her story, and then embedded the research into a rollicking great adventure. Read the trilogy.
A satisfying end to the Red Princess trilogy

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Interesting concept using two detectives of different nationalities, who love each other, but have to deal with restrictions and blockages of the Chinese government. New approach to political interventions in crime.Any additional comments?
Well written. A good story which gives you additional things to think about.Good Thriller - keeps you going
