For nearly two decades, an unsolved murder case has haunted Sergeant Zheng Haoming of the Chengdu Police Department. Eighteen years ago, two victims were murdered after being served with `death notices`. In refined calligraphy their perceived crimes were itemised & they were sentenced to death. The date of execution was declared, as was the name of their executioner: Eumenides. Now, a user on an internet forum has asked the public to submit names for judgement
- judgement for those the law cannot touch. Those found guilty will be punished & there is only one sentence: death. The user`s handle? Eumenides. Does Zheng have a lead? Has a long-dormant serial killer resurfaced? Perhaps modern police techniques
- criminal profiling, online surveillance & SWAT quick response teams
- can catch a killer who previously evaded justice? Or perhaps the killer is more than a match for whatever the Chengdu Police Department can muster? The first in a trilogy & a bestseller in China, Death Notice is a hi-octane, hi-concept, cat-&-mouse thriller that adds an exhilarating new gear to the police procedural.
