The Monkey and The Tiger includes two detective stories, "The Morning of the Monkey" and "The Night of the Tiger."

In the second, Dee is traveling to the imperial capital to assume a new position when he is separated from his escort by a flood. Marooned in a large country house surrounded by fierce bandits, Dee confronts an apparition that helps him solve a mystery.From the Back Cover
