Synopsis

A caravan vanishes. Then another. Then a third. The road remembers everything — if you know how to ask it.

A year after solving the impossible murder at Frost Pavilion, Xie Lang Yun's reputation has begun to travel ahead of him. When merchant Meng Zhaolin's brother disappears along with an entire caravan — the third to vanish on the same fog-bound mountain pass in a single year — he seeks out the wandering swordsman for help no magistrate has managed to provide.

There are no bodies. No wreckage. No ransom demands. Only silence, and a guide who flinches every time the fog rolls in.

Posing as a hired sword among the fourth caravan to attempt the crossing, Xie Lang Yun must untangle a mystery that moves with the road itself — shifted trail markers, a route grown mysteriously longer, and an organization calculating enough to make thirty-one travelers disappear without leaving a single clue for three separate investigations to find.

The Fourth Caravan is the second novel in the Wandering Blade Mysteries, trading the locked room for the open road — a fair-play mystery steeped in wuxia atmosphere, where the detective's only advantage is patience, observation, and the willingness to walk into danger everyone else has learned to avoid.

Perfect for readers of classic mystery puzzles and wuxia adventure alike.
