Son of Lies

About This Novel
"The Godfather of Suspense Novels" Cai Jun's breakthrough work in twenty years of writing. With solid literary skills, he dived into the deep sea of human nature. Spanning 16 years, family, love, and revenge are intertwined in a murder mystery. On Qingming Eve 16 years ago, an unrecognizable corpse with severed fingers was found on a construction site in the suburbs of Shanghai. Interpol Xu Daqing failed to investigate the case, and soon his wife Wenya filed for divorce from him, and then committed suicide at home. Sixteen years later, Xu Daqing found an intimate photo of her and a strange man among his wife's belongings. When a series of car accidents opened the "Pandora's Box" that had been sealed for many years, an intricate death mystery was once again detonated. In the past 16 years, from the countryside in western China to the electronics factory in the ancient town of Jiangnan, to the blurry night Shanghai beach, the devastated earthquake scene, and the luxurious British-style villa on the seaside - name, identity, motivation, time and space... Everything has been overthrown, dismembered, and reconstructed. What is a lie? Who is the son of lies?

He can't speak properly and has to use some metaphors that don't make any sense. It's really pretentious.
The full text is confusing hahahahahahahahahahaha
Sincerely. I couldn't stand it until halfway through.
I have always liked Cai Jun's writing style. This book is worth recommending.
