Echo

The psychological detective novel "Echo" (2021) not only became a new breakthrough in the work of Dun Xi (b. 1966) but also a vibrant event in the literary life of China. In his text, the author innovatively intertwines two stories — the investigation of a brutal murder and the turmoil in the personal life of a female investigator. The novel immerses the reader in the real life of today's China with all its economic achievements, social contradictions, erosion of family values, ruthless crime, and self-denial of the law enforcement officers.
