Blood on the Mekong

He is the sole survivor, and the “mole” wanted by the entire world. On October 5, 2011, thirteen Chinese crewmen were slaughtered on the Mekong River. Qin Badanmu, the cargo ship’s pilot, was shot three times and plunged into the river, but miraculously survived. When he woke up, he had gone from a veteran reconnaissance soldier to the prime suspect. The underworld and the authorities alike were out in force, determined to tear him apart and silence him. As he flees, he faces more than a hail of bullets. A drug lord who chants sutras before the Buddha believes that “killing saves people,” while the mysterious “Mr.,” pulling the strings behind the scenes, has woven a web of darkness across four countries. Every act of kindness invites disaster, and every show of trust could mean betrayal. As the power of the state collides with personal vengeance, he must use bloodstained hands to clear away the fog: hold on to compassion amid the slaughter, and seize the truth from the depths of hell. This is a bloody road with no way back. At its end, will he bring peace to the souls of the thirteen dead, or plunge into the abyss alongside the devil?
