About This Novel

In Brooklyn in 1964, the cold rain in late autumn was always wrapped in the fishy smell of the pier and stuck to the old windbreaker of "the world's best detective" Roland Peder. This 32-year-old detective spends his days in the office puffing away smoke and talking nonsense to whiskey bottles. When he encounters a murder scene, he will be so scared that his back is pressed against the wall. Only his wrestling ability can save him half his life in a bar brawl. What saved his detective career was his 28-year-old assistant Rosa Palin. Her schedule was precise down to the minute, she didn't touch cigarettes or alcohol, her notebooks were full of legal provisions and case suspects, and she could always find key clues in Roland's nonsense. When a case of the disappearance of a female teacher came to her door, Roland was "deducing" the case from an empty wine bottle, but Rosa had already come to her door with the deceased's suicide note: in addition to the scrawled address on the paper, there was only a strange line: "Don't trust the man in the gray coat." The abandoned warehouse at the pier, the sudden disappearance of witnesses, and the increasingly dense timeline drawn in Rosa's notebook drag this pair of partners with completely opposite painting styles into the whirlpool. When Roland's "random thoughts" collided with Rosa's rigorous reasoning, the truth hidden behind the cold rain was actually more chilling than his fear of the dark. It turns out that even the most timid detective has darkness that he must face head-on.
