This is Zhang Baorui’s new espionage thriller, and a sequel to A Embroidered Shoe. Northeast of the Zhoushan Islands lies a small island called Meihua. Spies have gathered there, plotting to sabotage our army’s test of its guided-missile destroyer. Long Fei is assigned to go to Meihua Island and launch a counterespionage operation. But strange events keep unfolding. People on the island are dying mysteriously, and rumors spread that at night, an embroidered shoe with no one wearing it walks around the island by itself. Sewn onto the shoe is a golden plum blossom...
Both Long Fei and Bai Wei's detailed books are well written. The ending of this one is a bit rushed and abrupt, but it's still a good book.
