Roses Beyond the Wall

Years ago, at his mother's urging, Gao Jing's friend Zhao Sheng tricked Gao's father out of a keepsake: an antique fountain pen. Years later, when the two meet again, Zhao Sheng has become the killer in a gruesome dismemberment case. But Zhao, an addict, recalls the case in a confused, disjointed jumble, and the victim's identity remains unknown, making the whole affair even more baffling. Acting on a police officer's instincts, Gao Jing decides to get to the bottom of it, only to be ambushed by the killer and buried alive. When his friend suddenly disappears, Mo Lan is once again dragged into three murder cases. Three sisters abandoned by their father, a resentful woman with a terminal illness, a small-town doctor hooked on medication, and a wealthy couple living in seclusion in the countryside: who is the real killer?
