What seemed to be a terrible accident was clearly a murder—a particularly horrific one—proven by the presence of a severed finger and an absent heart. Wu Jie gets ready, puts her emotions to rest, and teams up with her rookie coworker to investigate a pattern of disturbing hints and questionable fragments of evidence as the number of women reported missing continues to rise. Constantly hanging in the air is the fear that the murderer may strike again, adding a cruel, relentless drip to the inquiry.
