A Drop of Blood on a Dzi Bead

Zhou Shen is a police inspector in a Chinese megacity. Once, her older brother was found dead under mysterious circumstances, and the only clue was a missing heavenly relic – half of a dzi bead. Years later, together with her long-time love, now her superior, Shen investigates a brutally violent murder: a young banker was impaled through with a pine trunk. The policewoman suspects that such a horrific execution could not have been carried out by human hands. In despair, she asks for help from the god of war Guan Yu, not expecting that… the deity will answer her call. But will Shen be able to accept Guan Yu's help after learning the bloody secret that has bound her, her brother, her beloved, and the deity she summoned for two thousand years?
