Book Synopsis
When the silver needles meant for saving lives are forged into deadly blades, the fragrance of medicine carries the smoke of revenge.
On the desk of seventy-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner Li Jisheng, four unusual medical cases are quietly brewing—an official from the Red Cross coughs up blood after consuming a tonic laced with Bitter Apricot Kernel, an authority in Surgery has acupuncture points that harbor fatal misalignments, a Female Official's beauty secret has turned her face into a rotting skull, and a gang leader's joint ointment is slowly eroding his heart. This bloody revenge, wielded through Traditional Chinese Medicine, begins with the tragic fall of a brilliant medical student’s granddaughter and culminates in four bodies in a morgue, their causes of death untraceable.
As the SWAT team bursts into the crime den, the old man smiles as he swallows his last grain of cyanide. The surgical knife hidden deep within the herbal cabinet still bears fresh bloodstains, while the list of organ trades on the wall is reduced to ashes by the morning light.
