Dao Bones and Spirit Warnings

He is an orthodox heir of the Zhengyi tradition, skilled in drawing talismans, communicating with spirits, and reading the forces of yin and yang. He is also the youngest detective in the police force, a believer in evidence and procedure who tackles the murder cases no one else can solve. After his master passed away in meditation, he hid his abilities and entered the police academy. He had hoped to become an unremarkable beat cop, but a minor theft case led to a decade-old injustice buried within a wall. When the bell rings, the worlds of the living and the dead stand apart. Others rely on surveillance footage, DNA, and forensic traces; he can see the dead’s grievances and the demons in the living’s hearts. But no matter how effective his arts may be, they cannot stand up in court. He can only let ghosts and gods point the way, then nail the culprit with hard evidence. Undercover in drug dens, hostage crises, crackdowns on organized crime, serial murders: ten cases build one upon another, each more suspenseful than the last. Only when the strange cases finally come together does he realize that his parents’ “accident” was never an accident at all.
