Five brilliant stars, a story like none other! – Michael Garrick, author

Newly graduated from the People's Public Security University in Beijing, police sergeant Shui Nuan returns to her home city of Guangzhou. There she is appointed to Office 1.10; tasked to take out the leadership of the triad gangs who manufacture the drug methamphetamine or ice. Real-world policing is vastly different to university studies, while finding love proves to be almost as challenging. But when Nuan comes face to face with her best friend, now a mistress to a triad gangster, her troubles have only just begun.
