A Death In Passing — Karen L. Abrahamson

“A wonderful blend of conspiracy and playful spirits, with a pair of unique detectives - and no strings attached!” - Steve Poore, Fantasy Author and Goodread reader.

At a Burmese spirit festival, Aung, the elderly singer of the yoke thei -- the magical, living, royal puppets -- and Yamin, the mischievous page puppet, must solve the murder of the country's most powerful spirit singer before angry festival crowds turn on the puppet troupe -- and the puppets.

But in a land of living spirits failure not only means the wrong person pays the price, it can bring the spirits' ill-will on everyone at the festival.

A Death in Passing takes readers to nineteenth century Burma where spirits still hold sway over the Burmese people, and treachery and foreign influence threaten the old ways of living.
