About This Novel
Liu Cixin, Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman and other world-class science fiction masters highly praise it, and authoritative international media such as The Guardian, Daily Mail, and The New York Times Book Review have praised it! "Death" and "loneliness" have been hot topics in human history and literature for a long time. However, Lao Lei used humorous language and suspenseful and slightly absurd plot design to eliminate the heaviness of this topic. In the late 1940s, in the forgotten town of Venice, California, a poor mystery writer sat in an empty tram car late at night when a storm hit. Along with the whine of the tram, a drunk man sat behind him, mumbling some words about death, but the writer never dared to turn his head and look at this man's appearance. After getting out of the car, he found a body in the dark canal. Over the next few days, a series of mysterious accidents begin to occur to those around him. The bedridden canary old woman, the lousy hairdresser, the shrewd police detective, the female singer who never opens her door, the little old man with a face like Edgar Allan Poe, the outdated Hollywood actress... In this foggy town, who will be next on the death list? Who is the murderer hiding in the dark?
