The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu expands the horizon of an old fashioned western, as we follow the tale of a Chinese American assassin on a mission to rescue his kidnapped wife. There is danger and adventure around every corner of the story, as author Tom Lin expertly paints the scenes of his epic narrative with the touch of poetry that the West demands. By the end, we hope and feel that even the darkest of souls can be redeemed through truth and love.
