Young officer Shen Nianqing is temporarily assigned to the city’s major crimes unit to assist in the investigation of a once-sensational cold case: the South University murder. The case, notorious for its brutality and the killer’s continued evasion of justice, sparked years of speculation and public debate. Now, years later, Shen reopens the case file, analyzing the old evidence piece by piece and revisiting the crime scene. Just as he draws closer to the truth, key witnesses begin to turn up dead. The beast returns from the shadow–good and evil stand ready to crash. Winner in the Novel Division at the inaugural New Star International Mystery Awards. Cold Case is a highly accomplished work of police procedural fiction, inspired by real-life cases and skillfully blending fact with fiction. Spanning more than a decade, the introcate plot demands exceptional narrative control. The novel is tightly structured and elegantly composed, with well-paced transitions, vivid cinematic detail, and an emotional tone that is both intense and finely measured. 2
