The Case of the Monja Blanca

About the Book

In the course of a “marriage” swindle, four vicious con-men use a clever ploy by hiring the detectives to prove the integrity and financial security of their next victim. They say that they want to be certain of the quality of the prospective bride’s lineage. When the investigation is revealed, the victims feel reassured about the integrity and financial security of the perpetrators. The victim is then cruelly tricked and blackmailed and it is up to the detectives to expose the scheme and prevent further harm from coming to its most innocent victim.

About the Author

To the author, Anthony Wolff is more than a pseudonym. It’s a dedication to one of the finest men who ever graced the planet. Anthony Wolff, the author, who is paying tribute to Anthony Wolff, the great guy, is a fully ordained Zen Buddhist Priest. The reader may question Wolff’s literary credentials. It’s a free country, or at least used to be. Wolff’s clerical credentials, however, are pretty impressive even to the most jaded among us. Wolff was the first American to be ordained in The People’s Republic of China since the Communist Revolution. No small potatoes. The ordination took place in the hallowed precincts of Nan Hua Si, the monastery founded by 6th Patriarch Hui Neng in AD 675. The reader may be assured that the wisdom that drips from every cracked line is good Zen stuff. Wolff knows the detectives who have solved these cases. They aren’t perfect people, but since there are no perfect people on the planet, that is hardly news. Their actions are more eloquent than anything Wolff is capable of writing.
