It all begins on the night of the Poo-yang dragonboat races in 699 A.D.: a drummer in the leading boat collapses, and the body of a beautiful young woman turns up in a deserted country mansion. There, Judge Dee--tribunal magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger--steps in to investigate the murders and return order to the Tang Dynasty. In The Emperor's Pearl, the judge discovers that these two deaths are connected by an ancient tragedy involving a near-legendary treasure stolen from the Imperial Harem one hundred years earlier. The terrifying figure of the White Lady, a river goddess enshrined on a bloodstained altar, looms in the background of the investigation. Clues are few and elusive, but under the expert hand of Robert van Gulik, this mythic jigsaw puzzle assembles itself into a taut mystery. "If you have not yet discovered Judge Dee and his faithful Sgt. Hoong, I envy you that initial pleasure which comes from the discovery of a great detective story. For the magistrate of Poo-yang belongs in that select group of fictional detectives headed by the renowned Sherlock Holmes."--Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times "The title of this book and the book itself have much in common. Each is a jewel, a rare and precious find."--Atlanta TimesBinding Type: Paperback

GREAT GRAPE FLAVORED AND INCREASED ENERGY
Set name: Welch's Grape
I have tried the competitor’s grape flavored versions.
This is by far the best grape flavored energy drink.
It gives you the increased energy level you’re looking for without making you feel “fidgety.”
Highly recommend this energy drink for its effectiveness and flavor!

Green Apple is the best!
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Love these, I am subscribed for every two weeks, they last me one a day at work until the next shipment. Yay! Green sour apple is just the best. It’s slightly sour and refreshing. I work graveyard and stay awake all night with one of these. Super effective, great value for the money since I’m getting them cheaper this way than buying one a day at the convenience store next to my house. They’re sugar free but use sucralose, which is wannabe sugar but still, I’d say better for me (pre-diabetic) than real sugar.

Red Berry Drink
Set name: Sour Patch Kids Redberry
I drink one of these red cans when I get to the shop in the mornin. The taste reminnd me of the candy my kids liked when they were small. It has a sour kick at first but a sweet taste comes next in my mouth. I feel awake after I finish the can. My focus stays sharp while I work on the mashines for a few hours. I do not feel jitters in my hands or my chest like I do with some coffee. The liquid has no color which is fine with me because it does not stain my teath. I keep the pack in the small fridge in the garage to keep them cold. It is a good choice for days when I have a lot of heavy labor to do. My brother tried one and he thought the flavor was tart but I think it is right. I do not feel a crash when the afternoon comes. It is a way to get energy for my shift. I like that the cans are tall and hold much to last a while. My wife says I look alert when I use them before our walk.

I’ll buy it again.
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Ghost is very good. Especially comparing it to other energy drinks that literally tingle your whole body if you drink it too quickly. When I’m looking for energy drinks I really want more focus and mental energy over simple caffeine high and energy. This does give me both. In a good way. It has been very effective in what it says it does. Definitely value for the money over buying it at the gas stations one by one. Buying it in bulk definitely cuts the cost down. Energy levels peak very well without a crash at the end. The ingredients seems to be very good because my body doesn’t feel heavy afterwards.
