Fate (Death Notice, Bk. 2)

The man who called himself Eumenides is dead.

Last week, the vigilante killer who terrified and thrilled the city of Chengdu with his 'death notices' finally stopped. Cornered by the Chengdu Police Department, he issued hos own death notice and performed his own execution.

But when two students are violently murdered, the only clue left behind by the killer is a death notice—and the executioner claims to be Eumenides. Just days after watching the man who bore that name die, Captain Pei Tao and his task force now face a terrifying prospect: That Eumenides left a protégé to carry on his work.

Once again, Eumenides is one step ahead of their investigation—but this time, it's worse. Because this time, someone on the inside is helping him. Can Pei and his team root out the mole, and hunt down their new opponent? Or are they doomed to watch history repeat itself?

Gripping, explosive and fiendishly inventive, Fate is the second instalment in the death Notice trilogy: the Chinese crime-writing phenomenon and a Sunday Times thriller of the year.
