The Dark Night's Pole Star

This is a hard-hitting undercover novel about the war on drugs. Yuan Xing, a police academy graduate, spends three years embedded in Jiangcheng's Jianglong Gang. He risks his life to destroy the criminal syndicate, but loses his way as he is torn between his identities on either side of the law. Rejecting the glory of being hailed as a hero by the police and the security of an ordinary life, he carries the badge passed down to him by his mentor, Zhang Cheng, and heads for the border like a boat sailing through the night. Yuan Xing sneaks across the border into a drug den abroad, facing deadly tests from the Southeast Asian drug lord Mo Long, and earns his place through a ruthless facade. He meets A Lian, who is hunting her father's killer, and uncovers shocking secrets: his elders died fighting drugs, and a police mole is still lurking within the force. In the dark abyss of the borderlands, he holds fast to his duty as a police officer and battles the drug lord to the death, seeking only to tear open the veil of crime and await the dawn of justice.
