Description:

Seven days before election, Taiwan’s President Hsu is shot during a parade in a crowded—and closely guarded—street in Taipei. Ex senior detective Wu, now working as a lucrative but boring insurance investigator, is pulled from retirement to help investigate the case.

He enlists the help of Alex, the best sniper he knows and still in hiding after the event in THE SNIPER. Alex’s investigation confirms his suspicion: the shooting is staged….

Yet another thrilling mystery from Chang Kuo-Li based on another major political scandal in Taiwan: the attempted assassination of President Chen Shui-Bian in 2004.
