About This Novel

In the city shrouded in fog at night, a series of horrific serial murders shocked the whole city. There were no signs of struggle on the victims, and the bodies were placed in strange and regular postures. Symbolic objects were always left around them - thornless roses, broken chalk, and broken mirrors. The police are at a loss as all clues seem to point to an invisible "stage", and the murderer is the manipulator behind the stage. Criminal police officer Zhou Tinghao of the task force was assigned to take over the case. With the keen perspective of criminal psychology, he gradually reveals the murderer's mental trajectory: childhood trauma, the pain of neglect, and the never-ending "corrective voice." Every murder is the murderer replaying the nightmare of the past, making countless adults pay the price for "that abandoned childhood." However, as the case gradually progressed, Zhou Tinghao discovered that there was a striking similarity between himself and the murderer: they were both children who were disciplined and forced to remain silent. As the murderer's provocation escalates, the boundary between hunter and prey begins to blur. Even Zhou Tinghao feels that he is being pulled step by step into the shadow of the other party. In the final confrontation, he must face the "other voice" lurking in the murderer's heart, and must also face the reflection of his past. Is it to completely suppress the voice? Or let the truth be heard? "In the Shadows" is a novel that combines urban horror and psychological suspense. In addition to being bloody, it also targets the most vulnerable corners of the human heart. When you open this book, you will enter a maze full of mirrors and whispers - and are you sure you are not a part of it?
