The Petals of Lao-Tze
About this ebook
Un peu d’espoir el puis, bon soir. (A little hope—and then farewell)
The eighth “petal”, is the final piece needed to recreate the complete golden talisman that is said to have given Lao-Tze long life, perhaps even immortality. Retrieving it from a dead man deep in the Himalayas is the easy part. Bringing it back to a wealthy benefactor is another story.
That story ranges from Manhattan to Tibet to Shanghai to Honolulu and back to upper New York, and is full of Tibetan lamas, Chinese secret agents, a morphine addled conman, and attempted murder. And the Elixir of Life.
