Elegy of Death
15 hrs. 43 min.
An absolute bestseller in China.
BEAST IN A CAGE.
The serial executioner-murderer from the city of Chengdu, known throughout China as Eumenides, has been caught, sentenced, and locked in a high-security prison. No escape is possible from here, and there are no people of his own inside.
But they are still out there—and there’s something he owes them...
HE CAN’T BE STOPPED.
The killer has no intention of serving his entire sentence behind these bars. He has plenty of unfinished business in freedom. The war for justice (as he sees it) is not over—and it never will be. He devises a cunning escape plan that involves all sorts of different people...
BUT THE TRAP IS ALREADY SET.
Eumenides has only one weak point—he has fallen in love with a blind girl violinist, and he wants to meet her as soon as possible. Police captain Lo Fei knows this very well—and sets up his own plan. Now the serial killer won’t just wait out a prison sentence. Does Eumenides love music? Great. Lo Fei will play him an elegy of death...
