In seventh century China, Judge Dee, an imperial magistrate, investigates two deaths, a drummer in the annual dragon-boat race and a woman in a deserted country estate.
On the night of the Poo-yang dragonboat races in AD 699 a drummer in the leading boat collapses, and the body of a woman turns up in a country mansion. Judge Dee steps in to investigate the murders. He discovers that these two deaths are connected by an ancient tragedy involving a treasure stolen from the Imperial Harem one hundred years earlier.
