The Touch of Death is the 17th book in the Ennin Mystery series by James D. Houston. The book follows Ennin, a Buddhist monk, as he investigates a series of mysterious deaths at a temple in Japan.

The story begins when Ennin is summoned to the temple by the abbot, who is concerned about the deaths of several monks. Ennin soon discovers that the deaths are not accidental, but rather the result of murder.

As Ennin investigates the murders, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies. He learns that the temple is in financial trouble, and that the abbot is desperate to keep the temple afloat. Ennin also discovers that the monks are not as pious as they seem, and that they are involved in a number of illicit activities.

As Ennin gets closer to the truth, he becomes the target of the killer. He is attacked several times, but he is always able to escape. Ennin eventually discovers the identity of the killer, and he is able to bring him to justice.

The Touch of Death is a well-written and suspenseful mystery. Houston does a great job of creating a sense of atmosphere and tension. The characters are well-developed and believable, and the plot is full of twists and turns.
