Summary
It's the end of the 19th century. San Francisco's cobblestone streets are haunted, but Chinatown has an unlikely protector in a young Daoist priestess named Li-lin. Using only her martial arts training, spiritual magic, a sword made from peachwood, and the walking, talking spirit of a human eye, Li-lin stands alone to defend her immigrant community from supernatural threats.
But when the body of a young girl is brought to the deadhouse Li-lin oversees for a local group of gangsters, she faces her most bewildering - and potentially dangerous - assignment yet. The 9-year-old has died from suffocation...specifically by flowers growing out of her nose and mouth. Li-lin suspects Gong Tau, a dirty and primitive form of dark magic. But who is behind the spell, and why, will take her on a perilous journey deep into a dangerous world of ghosts and spirits.
With hard historical realism and meticulously researched depictions of Chinese monsters and magic that have never been written about in the English language, The Girl with No Face draws from the action-packed cinema of Hong Kong to create a compelling and unforgettable tale of historical fantasy and Chinese lore.

The Girl With No Face
A brilliant novel that has you listening attentively throughout. I loved the eyeball and the picture painted of him lying in a steaming hot cup of tea is marvellous . Beautifully read

Excellent story, outstanding performance
Great follow-up to Ghost Eyes. Hope a third part comes out soon and gets the Emily Woo Zeller treatment but haven't heard anything on it...

Rare.
A sequel that is better than its predecessor isn't that common but this definitely is.
The narrator is just as excellent but the storyline is better than the first one.
It's free, so read it, probably better if you read the first one....first though.
