Thriller | Historical
After his grandfather dies, avid scholar and budding
forensic investigator Ci Song begrudgingly gives up his
studies to help his family. But when another tragedy
strikes, he’s forced to run and also deemed a fugitive.
Dishonored, he has no choice but to accept work as a lowly
gravedigger, a position that allows him to sharpen his
corpse-reading skills. Soon, he can deduce whether a person
killed himself or was murdered. His prowess earns him notoriety, and Ci receives orders to
unearth the perpetrator of a horrific series of mutilations
and deaths at the Imperial Court. Ci’s gruesome
investigation quickly grows complicated thanks to old
loyalties and the presence of an alluring, enigmatic woman.
But he remains driven by his passion for truth, especially
once the killings threaten to take down the Emperor
himself. Inspired by Song Ci, considered to be the founding father
of CSI-style forensic science, this harrowing novel set
during the thirteenth-century Tsong Dynasty draws readers
into a multilayered, ingenious plot as disturbing as it is
fascinating.
