Synopsis

He is the manager of a trading company in the foreign concessions, a smooth and well-connected socialite, a codebreaking expert courted by the Military Statistics Bureau, a welcome guest at No. 76, and even a sworn brother to a Green Gang boss. Beneath all those layers of disguise, he has only one true identity: an underground Communist Party operative, codenamed “Night Hawk.” Shanghai in 1941 is an isolated island, but it's also a living hell. The Japanese collaborators, the Special Higher Police, the Military Statistics Bureau, the underground Party, and international spies wage an invisible war beneath the neon lights. A sudden assassination in the foreign concessions forces Lu Yan, “Night Hawk,” into the fray. He only meant to pass intelligence along the edge of a blade, but soon discovers he's been drawn into a vast conspiracy: the Japanese army's top-secret operation, codenamed “Project Vermilion Bird,” which will decide the fate of hundreds of thousands. More terrifying still, a ghost codenamed “Silver Fox” is hiding among the organization's upper ranks. It seems able to see through everything, and every operation is accompanied by betrayal and bloodshed. Lu Yan discovers that the closer he gets to the truth, the more an unseen force pushes him toward the abyss. The enemy is at his back, and the mole is at his side. Lu Yan has no choice but to move between the Military Statistics Bureau, No. 76, and the Japanese collaborators, turning enemies against one another and rooting out traitors. Using extraordinary intelligence and courage, he gradually tears away the veil hiding “Project Vermilion Bird,” only to suffer a devastating blow: his identity is exposed, and the entire city is ordered to hunt him down! This is one man's war, and a sacrifice no one will ever know about.
