Murder on West Street

Her mother, missing for ten years, has turned up as a rotting corpse. A needle left on the wall, bloodstains cleaned from the kitchen, bones lying beneath the bed... Every piece of evidence points to the killer being someone in my "family." The first major case taken on by criminal investigator Nan Qin: the victim is her own birth mother. As she bears her grief and investigates, she discovers a massive conspiracy behind her father's remarriage. Her stepmother's agitation, her younger sister's hostility, and the sudden appearance of the man who is, on paper, her "husband," Cen Zhao. Everyone is hiding secrets, and every clue points to those closest to her. When family ties become a blade and the truth is soaked in blood, how will she cut through this decade-old West Street murder case, caught between the law and her feelings? What she doesn't know is that the man silently protecting her in the dark has had her woven into his plans from the very beginning.
