Others Solve Cases with Clues, but I Talk Directly to the Dead

Other people rely on talismans to deal with ghosts. I rely on touch to examine corpses.

Funeral director Lu Chen is dragged into the Dead Letter Bureau by a letter written in blood. From then on, he takes charge of “undeliverable mail.”

There are no hysterical screams here, only cases waiting to be unraveled: he touches corpses to tell truth from falsehood, then works backward to deduce the rules.

Only when every dead letter has been returned to its rightful place does he realize...

What he has been repairing isn’t souls, but the logical threads of a world on the verge of collapse.
