The Best Crime Novel in China in 2020 is coming! Nado's new work, The Knight's Sacrifice, is published

The famous suspense writer Nado's new work "The Sacrifice of the Knight" was recently launched by the Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. The novel is adapted from a real case that the author cannot let go of for five years, the interweaving of reasoning and social exploration, the tragic criminal motive, and the engraving of a strong human nature push Nado's writing to a new height.

Nado, who began writing literature in 2000, became famous with his extraordinary imagination. He is the author of more than 20 novels such as the "Nado Spirit Handbook" series of novels, "One Hundred Years of Curse" and "Nineteen Years of Murder", and the total number of works has sold millions of copies. Its style is quirky and fascinating. It not only contains the exploration of the universe, but also is full of enthusiasm and expectation for the unknown of human nature. In 2018, "Nineteen Years of Murder" sold more than 100,000 copies, douban score 8.2, when the comments exceeded 10,000, pushing Naduo to a new peak in his creative career. The sharp edge of the killing writes a cold and stirring story, and the rhythm is so dense that people can't breathe.

The Knight's Sacrifice tells the story of a man as a lover and father. Snakeskin bags containing corpses were found in the rivers of the community, and after identification, the deceased was dismembered, the perpetrators were cruel and had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and the special case team was temporarily trapped in a dilemma. Police officer Lao Feng followed the clues of the snakeskin bag all the way to the place where the perpetrator lived, and the latter seemed to have just escaped.

Curiously, in the accounts of colleagues, neighbors and daughters, the perpetrator seems to be a "good old man", and he does not look like a humanized corpse murderer... The daughter who refuses to cooperate, the looming "fifth person", the rumor of the vampire rat, the frequent fire case...

As the case gradually became clear, a family tragedy that had been sealed for many years surfaced. It turned out that the deceased was the ex-wife of the perpetrator. To him, she betrayed, hurt, left, she had the ambition of the sky, but she fell in the sinister world, and to her, he reached out again and again, trying to pull her legs out of the mud, but he fell into it again and again.

Where there is strong love, there will be strong hatred, but good calls him to liberate a person. There was a muffled thunder in the wasteland of the world, and a father came to the moment of death...

The novel is adapted from a major criminal investigation case nine years ago, which has aroused heated discussion among the public. Five years ago, a police friend brought it up to Nado—the only homicide for good rather than evil that had been encountered in years as a police officer. The author is difficult to let go after listening, the news report only touches the surface of the event, and the texture of the truth is only presented under the microscope of writing.

In terms of writing, the novel advances from the two lines of police and criminals to the truth of ten years ago. The reader watches the criminal step by step into the abyss through the perspective of the police, but is powerless, and in the process, our emotions that have long been smoothed out by the trivialities of life are also awakened. At the end of the novel, the police officer Lao Feng suffers from emotional deficiency and is healed when confronted with the body of the criminal. This is not only a great irony, but also the author's expectation for a beautiful emotional life.

The famous writer Han Han said: "Nado has always been a writer I like very much, and his people and works are a combination of fantastic ideas and politeness. Book critic Shi Hang praised the novel "The Sacrifice of the Knight": "Finally, in the domestic mystery novel, I waited for a work that gave me the same impact as Shuichi Yoshida's "The Wicked Man". In the muddy world, the day is like a shuluo field, the night is like a garbage dump, and the writer who is truly sentient and righteous can be like a scavenger, looking for a star and a little bit of evidence to prove that people are still worthy of love. ”
