In a foggy night in Victoria London, a series of mutilations shocked the whole city.
I, George Hope, Scotland Yard's youngest detective, have been assigned to investigate the case.
But I have a secret - I am the murderer.
The murder committed in Yorkshire two years ago has now been perfectly replicated in London. When everyone thought it was a parody of the devil, only I knew it was a "tribute" directed at me.
What's even more frightening is that my immediate boss, Chief Murray, who lost his beloved son, is gradually treating me as a relative; the mysterious consultant Coffey hired by the police station, whose eyes can see through everything, always stays on me; and the experienced Detective Derek has begun to doubt me, this "too good" newcomer.
When the sad Sheriff's wife, under the influence of heresy, pointed the butcher knife at me, the "replacement", I knew the opportunity had come.
I personally laid out the plan to turn her into the prey of the police.
I watched calmly and let the pursuit point to the viper behind the scenes.
I disguised myself perfectly and continued to play the role of a hunter of justice in this city of sin.
But on the chessboard, Coffey has made a fatal move; in the shadows, Derek's gun is quietly raised; deep in the thick fog, the real imitator is smiling...
This is a murder-hunting drama directed by a murderer.
And I am both an actor on stage and a director behind the scenes, and I am also the one who must be sacrificed in the end - the sacrifice.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.
When I hunted down the devil, the devil in the mirror was smiling at me.
Reader comments
This is a good book.
I have read many books, and the descriptions of characters in those books are different, and the narrative methods are also different, and there are countless outstanding ones among them. But what I want to say is that this book is definitely in the top ten among all the stories narrated from the first-person perspective that I have read.
To be honest, I am very glad that I came across this book. It made me realize that I actually spent a lot of time eating chaff instead of sugar.
Of course, my comments may also be related to my own preferences. I personally like to read books about Western history, investigative reasoning and occultism, and this book just suits my taste.
But if that were the case, I would not give this book such an evaluation. The reason why I say this is a good book is because I see some shadows of the people who left their names in this book. The similarity between them lies not in style or words, but in the deeper and longer core. Their hearts beat within the same framework.
In fact, yesterday when I saw the author writing a book review about the ending, I was a little scared. I was not afraid of how the ending would end, but I was afraid that I would never see such a good book again. And in the end, what makes me happy is that He gave me a good ending and a good beginning.
To be honest, this is the first time I have written such a long review, and it is also the first time I have thought twice about a book. I will read this book carefully again, out of respect and respect for this book and its author.
All in all, this is a really good book.
