[Urban crime procedural + two powerful leads]
One brutal serial murder after another leaves the city’s criminal investigation unit overwhelmed.
Then there’s An Qing, a new intern who “perfectly” destroys key evidence at her very first crime scene.
Incompetent, a nepotism hire, get out of the police force: the immense public pressure nearly swallows her whole.
Everyone thinks this is just a story about a rookie botching a case.
Until they see the stern, impartial chief bow to her with near-terror;
until, overnight, every senior official who had insulted her is inexplicably suspended and investigated;
until someone risks their life to catch a glimpse of the tiny line of scarlet text at the bottom of her file, marking the highest level of clearance...
Only then do they realize that in this bloody game of pursuit, the real hunter may have only just put away her disguise and bared her fangs.
And what is she targeting: a murderous psychopath, or the seemingly impregnable city police bureau itself?
