Stories on Chinese Detectives

A Preliminary Bibliography

The following list contains some material which I got to know by being interested in the topic and - of course - by accident. I did not do any systematic research. If you know more material in the field, you are invited to send me an e-mail. On this page, you will not find entries on books by Robert Hans van Gulik, for as these will be the theme of another one.
