After seven years in the workplace, Chen Mo is a cog everyone blames for their own mistakes. Working overtime until midnight still can't make life live up to his expectations. Then a strange text message explodes into his life: "The world you live in is fake." That very night, his whole body burns with fever, and he begins to doubt the repetitiveness of his life with a bone-deep unease.
Lu Chen wakes up being hunted by the crime boss Poison Scorpion. He can't even remember his own name, but he can see through gambling scams at a glance. With his alluring partner Linore, he breaks into the black market and takes on hired muscle, all to find the "Heart in the Wind" and figure out who he is.
One struggles to survive in an office cubicle; the other outwits death in dark alleys.
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, yet whenever danger strikes, both can sense an unseen force drawing them together. Poison Scorpion's blockade, clues to the wind-pattern key, the boundary between virtuality and reality... Every step leads to a deadly trap, and only sheer intelligence can get them out!
The new novel, "City and Night Tales: The Overtime Drone and the Amnesiac," is a high-octane, dual-story thrill ride from start to finish. Stay up all night reading it!
