Synopsis

Un asesino en serie acecha a las jovenes de Shanghai. Sus crimenes han creado gran expectacion y alarma en la prensa y entre los ciudadanos, sobre todo porque suele abandonar a los cadaveres enfundados en un vestido muy llamativo, rojo y de estilo mandarin. Cuando el caso comienza a complicarse, el inspector jefe Chen Cao esta de permiso: acaba de matricularse en un master sobre literatura clasica china en la Universidad de Shanghai. Pero en el momento en que el asesino ataca directamente al equipo de investigadores del Departamento, a Chen no le queda mas remedio que volver al trabajo y ponerse al frente de la investigacion. Mientras intenta dar con el asesino antes de que se cobre nuevas victimas, ira descubriendo que la raiz de estos asesinatos se remonta al tragico y tumultuoso pasado reciente del pais. / A serial killer is stalking the young women of Shanghai.
