Description
The second case of detective Liho Jen and American forensic doctor Margaret Campbell. Margaret finds herself once again in a situation where she must utilize her unique skills, this time during the investigation of a series of ritual murders in Beijing. The first three victims were drugged, bound, marked with a poster bearing a nickname and number, and professionally beheaded. The fourth victim was executed in the same manner, but with the difference that it was an American diplomat of Chinese descent. It is a mystery to everyone why Jüan Tchao returned to Beijing after several decades in America, why he settled for a low-paying bureaucratic position, why he rented an apartment in a shabby part of the city — or why he died in the same bizarre way as the other three Chinese. Li and Margaret are on the trail of the truth, but at the same time, they are dangerously close to the murderer, who is ready to sacrifice anyone to keep his secrets safe.
