Early in his career, Judge Dee visits a senior magistrate who shows him a beautiful lacquer screen on which a scene of lovers has been mysteriously altered to show the man stabbing his lover. The magistrate fears he is losing his mind and will murder his own wife. Meanwhile, a banker has inexplicably killed himself, and a lovely lady has allowed Dee's lieutenant, Chiao Tai, to believe she is a courtesan. Dee and Chiao Tai go incognito among a gang of robbers to solve this mystery, and find the leader of the robbers is more honorable than the magistrate. One of the most satisfyingly devious of the Judge Dee novels, with unusual historical richness in its portrayal of the China of the T'ang dynasty.---New York Times Book Review Even Judge Dee is baffled by Robert van Gulik's new mysteries in The Lacquer Screen. Disguised as a petty crook, he spends a couple of precarious days in the headquarters of the underworld, hobnobbing with the robber king. Dee's lively thieving friends furnish some vital clues to this strange and fascinating jigsaw.---The Spectator So scrupulously in the classic Chinese manner yet so nicely equipped with everything to satisfy the modern reader.---New York Times Robert Van Gulik (1910-67) was a Dutch diplomat and an authority on Chinese history and culture. He drew his plots from the whole body of Chinese literature, especially from the popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century.Binding Type: Paperback

Nearly Perfect Sunscreen
Color: Deep, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Sunscreen is lightweight and smooth. Also, does not leave my T-zone super oily like other sunscreens. Only issue is the shade is still not dark enough, so it takes a little time to fade into my skin.

This product is so amazing. Light weight, not greasy, and I don’t break out! It gives me an even glow and is so much better than supergoop!

Great for Sensitive Skin
Color: Non-Tinted, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My face has always been sensitive to sunscreens, so I have to be careful with what I use on my face. (Others can cause burning sensations). This sunscreen is great. I had no issues, and unlike other sunscreens, sweat running didn't cause my eyes to burn or water which was great.
Keeps my skin protected against the hot Florida sun, so it works!

And the crowd goes mild
Color: Tinted, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I had heard such great things but I’m really left a little disappointed. I got the light tinted version, and it’s much darker than anticipated. And the smell is not great. It kind of smells like my grandpa’s trailer and not in a nice, nostalgic way. As a sunscreen though, I have no complaints. The protection is great and at the end of the day that’s what I really need out of this.
