In ancient China, only the most astute judges attained the coveted title of 'corpse readers,' an elite of forensic scientists who, even at the risk of their own lives, had the mandate that no crime should go unpunished. Ci Song was the first of them. Inspired by a real character, 'The Corpse Reader' narrates the extraordinary story of a young man of humble origin whose passion and determination led him from his position as a gravedigger in the Death Fields of Lin'an to an advanced disciple in the prestigious Ming Academy. There, he will awaken the curiosity of the emperor himself, who will summon him to track down the atrocious crimes that threaten to annihilate the Imperial Court.
This historical suspense and adventure novel will transport you to exotic and lavish medieval China, where ambition and hatred intertwine with love and death.
