Klappentext

“WHAT, CAN THE DEVIL SPEAK TRUE?” – MACBETH

When a powerful business magnate dies in a mysterious car crash, the stability of his empire collapses overnight. Days later, his eldest son is kidnapped, forcing Luo Wenzhou and his team into a treacherous investigation where every lead is undermined by the tycoon’s colleagues—and even by his own surviving children.

As the scope of the case widens, Luo Wenzhou must navigate secrets and betrayals worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy.

Fei Du is crucial to the investigation, particularly because he is close friends with another of the businessman’s sons. Luo Wenzhou may still be guessing at Fei Du’s true motivations, but he has no choice: he must work with him on this confounding case—and the partnership may drive him closer to Fei Du than ever before.
