Secret Words

Summary
Interweaving overt and covert narrative threads, the novel openly depicts a new generation of detectives who, with fearless spirit and advanced scientific methods, wage thrilling battles against one new type of criminal organization after another; covertly it traces a major transnational drug-manufacturing and trafficking ring that lay hidden in Yaocheng for twenty-six years, naturally meeting its demise amid the era's storm of cracking down on gangs and rooting out evil. Through a realistic style that blends black, white, and gray, the novel also tells the utterly different, endlessly twisting marriage and love stories of two generations of “close friends.”
The presence of these ordinary people not only makes the story more real, vivid, plain, and moving, but also rejects the rigid formula of writing cases for cases' sake, so that a major investigative drama, amid tightly interlocking and bewildering tension, repeatedly sounds one believable and delightful emotional note after another, filling a suspenseful and eerie tale with the breath of everyday life. This distinctive approach makes the plot more extraordinary, the characters fuller, and the thematic depth more profound.
