Something strange is afoot at the Lotus Palace. A guest is murdered after a boring state banquet ... A secret room full of scorpions is found ... A cloaked stranger passes on information ... Every marble statue seems to hold a secret ... In Melucha, children's alphabet books teach that H is for hemlock, so it is no particular surprise when someone is found murdered. But in a city where everyone has devious and twisted motives and dire plans, it is not easy for Meenakshi and Kalban to find the murderer.
