About This Novel
A sudden landslide uprooted a secret that had been buried in the loess for thirty years. Cheng Xuesong, a criminal police officer who was just transferred to the city bureau, took over the case, but was forced to partner with Ni Feng, a second-line veteran criminal policeman who had an old grudge against his father. The two went from tit-for-tat to investigating the case side by side. The investigation is as thorough as peeling an onion, and four families are involved: Xu Hui, who runs a children's dance school, Zhou Shuying, who works as a cleaner in a nursing home, Sun He, a retired cadre, and Xia Guanglin, a wealthy businessman... When dealing with the police's investigation of a case thirty years ago, they also face the current dilemma. The sins of the past wrap around the present like vines, and everyone involved struggles with atonement and escape. As the truth emerges, everyone understands: the past has never passed, it is just waiting for a rainy morning to spread all debts and redemptions under the sun.
