Reader comments
The novel is a breathtaking and hard-to-read urban suspense masterpiece. It not only tells a story about uncovering the shady curtain of a transnational criminal network, but also a deep elegy about sacrifice, trust, redemption and the complex spectrum of human nature. With cold and precise writing, the novel weaves an airtight web of conspiracy, but allows the warmest and toughest human brilliance to become the only sharp blade to pierce this darkness.
