Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi: “Can I call myself a Zhou Haohui fan? I’ve bought all his books.”
Everyone who receives a “death notice” will be brutally murdered by a mysterious killer on the date stated. Even if the victim alerts the police, who then lay a vast trap and assign them round-the-clock protection, the killer still manages to strike with ease, slipping through every layer of security to take their life.
Every murder happens right under the police’s noses, and every attempt to make an arrest ends in failure. No one knows the mysterious killer’s true identity, and every move the police make has already been anticipated. This is the ultimate battle of wits. The killer’s methods seem flawless, but are there clues that could expose them?
A great contest needs a worthy opponent. You want to kill me, and I want to kill you. This is a story about a cop and a killer.
