Yan Wang's Calling Card: Five Shocking Murder Cases in the Republic of China
Synopsis
At dawn on June 4, 1928, an enormous explosion rocked Huanggutun. Zhang Zuolin, the Warlord of the Northeast, was blown into a bloody mess. Before he drew his last breath, he reached into his collar and pulled out a copper button engraved with two words: "South Manchuria." This was no ordinary button. It was a calling card from the King of Hell. From that moment on, the button wandered the land of the Republic of China like a ghost, taking a life each time it appeared.
This book uses a mixed style of flashbacks, twists, dialect, short sentences, jokes, and long sentences without punctuation. Its language is rough-edged, humorous, satirical, and fiery. Northeastern bandit slang, Shandong dialect, Shanghai alleyway talk, and Nanjing Mandarin all take turns onstage. The pace is lightning-fast: an explosion in the first three seconds, a twist at fifteen seconds, and a climax at thirty. Every chapter ends with a bombshell that will keep you up if you don't read the next one. The vivid scenes, well-defined characters, and tightly packed conflicts make it a natural fit for suspense films, TV series, short dramas, and audio dramas.
This is no ordinary historical suspense novel. It is a calling card from the King of Hell. Open it, and you take that copper button into your hands. On the back of the button, your name is engraved.
