The year is 2013, and Inspector Kwan, one of Hong Kong's greatest detectives, is dying. His friend and protege, Detective Lok, has come to Kwan's hospital bed. Together they must solve one last case: the murder of a local billionaire. What follows is a brilliantly constructed novel of six interconnected stories, each featuring a different murder case solved by Kwan and Lok over the last fifty years. Eventually, in the final story, we witness the case in which Lok, a rookie cop, met Kwan for the first time.
