The Fog City Cold Case

The Fog City’s greatest unsolved case has remained open for fifteen years.

Fifteen years ago, a serial killer placed a white rose on the forehead of every corpse. Seven lives were lost, shocking the entire country. Shen Canghai, the lead detective, died on the eve of the case’s resolution. After that, no one dared touch it.

Fifteen years later, the white rose reappears. Shen Ye, son of Shen Canghai, becomes head of the task force. With five assistants, each possessing a special skill, and Su Qing, a sharp-tongued forensic doctor whose words cut like a scalpel, he takes on a city shrouded in fog.

But the deeper they dig, the bigger the case becomes:

A witness is poisoned to death in the interrogation room, the deputy chief is a mole, the forensic doctor’s mentor once falsified an autopsy report, and even the inspector sent in from the provincial department is hiding a secret.

Fifteen key figures. Six hidden threads woven through the investigation.

Every layer they uncover costs someone their life.

Shen Ye finally understands: the white rose was never just one person.

It was a web.

“The flower is white, but its roots are black.”
