Everyone in Laohuai Village says Su Yan brings bad luck. He's so young, yet he makes a living carrying coffins, and everyone avoids him. No one knows that the half-broken book his grandfather left behind records the seventy-two crafts of the yin trade, along with a secret that could cost him his life. When others encounter a haunting, they run for their lives; he walks right in and takes the job. People call him a jinx, but when trouble strikes, these same people are the ones who kneel and beg him to come. It isn't until he takes a job for a wealthy family in the city that he discovers someone has been selling the yin fate of Chinese people to foreigners. And the truth behind his grandfather's disappearance is hidden at the end of this trail.
