What's the price of inspiration? Tom Jennings is about to find out. With dreams of writing his first novel, Tom travels to the Scarlett Grove Hotel in Roquetas De Mar. His writing progresses steadily, aided by the interesting and unusual people he meets beneath the Spanish Sun. People unlike anyone he's ever met before. A young thief hiding from her haunted past. A grieving mother mourning the loss of her child. An abusive husband fuelled by alcohol and rage. A lonely woman desperate to keep hold of her families business. A spoilt millionaire who's never been told no. An ego-driven drug dealer who controls the town. With blood spilled and more danger looming just ahead, Tom forgets about his novel entirely. Now the only thing that matters is escaping with his life.

Volume I is divided into two parts. Part B of volume I in the Ben cao gang mu series offers a translation of portions of chapter 3 and the complete chapter 4, devoted to pharmaceutical drugs for diseases. This volume is a continuation of volume I, part A. The first portion of chapter 3 is found in part A. The Ben cao gang mu is a sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li Shizhen (1518–1593). The culmination of a sixteen-hundred-year history of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical literature, it is considered the most important and comprehensive book ever written in the history of Chinese medicine and remains an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners. This nine-volume series reveals an almost two-millennia-long panorama of wide-ranging observations and sophisticated interpretations, ingenious manipulations, and practical applications of natural substances for the benefit of human health. Paul U. Unschuld's annotated translation of the Ben cao gang mu, presented here with the original Chinese text, opens a rare window into viewing the people and culture of China's past.
