A pair of eyes that can see the underworld, and a countdown to death no one can escape!
Sun Fei, a rookie at the police academy, gets caught up in the “human-skin coat case” on her very first day! A rotting mannequin wearing a “fresh” coat made of human skin is brought into the police station. The only clue left at the scene is a bizarre countdown: 7!
She has no idea that the blood flowing through her veins has quietly awakened the “Netherworld Eye.” The dead whisper in her ears, and the shadows of departed souls flicker before her eyes. Every time she looks directly at the truth behind a death, her soul burns! The criminal investigation captain calls her a fake medium, her colleagues think she brings bad luck, and only the cold, unsmiling coroner silently offers physical evidence to keep her crumbling sense of reason intact.
When a dilapidated apartment becomes a moving house of blood, and the dead return from a sinister opera troupe to claim lives... the killer’s plans are as intricate as a chess game, while ghostly revenge brings danger at every turn! Sun Fei must survive between the worlds of science and the uncanny, using the life-consuming “Netherworld Eye” to catch fragments of the truth. She makes her life a chess piece and her wits a blade!
Yet the closer she gets to the heart of it all, the more she realizes that every dead soul’s gaze points to the cold case of her father’s disappearance years ago, and to someone who has always lurked behind the curtain, pulling the threads of death: the “Tailor”!
The Book of Life and Death opens before her eyes. Whose name will be next?
[Supernatural perception + genius-level puzzle solving] [Fragile heroine turns the tables against all odds] [Cases within cases, schemes within schemes] [The clash between yin and yang exposes the darkness of human nature]
A very good book. All the cases are connected, but the logic is reasonable and accurate, suggesting that the author may have repeatedly polished the text.
