"Lu Fei is a graduate of China's top police college but he's been assigned to a sleepy backwater town in northern China, where almost nothing happens. That is until a young woman is found dead, her organs removed, and joss paper stuffed in her mouth. The CID in Beijing is on the case but in an increasingly authoritarian China, prosperity and political stability are far more important than solving the murder of an insignificant village girl. As such, the CID head is interested in pinning the crime on the first available suspect. As Lu digs deeper into the gruesome murder, he finds himself facing old enemies and creating new ones. Despite these rising obstacles, Lu remains determined to find the real killer."-- Provided by publisher.
