Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner—but the bloody messes don't bother her, not when she's already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister being pushed in front of a train. The killer was never caught, and Cora is still haunted by his last words: "bat eater." These days nobody can reach Cora: not her aunt, who wants her to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival; not her weird colleagues; and especially not the slack-jawed shadow lurking around her door frame. After all, it can't be real—can it? After a series of unexplained killings in Chinatown, Cora believes someone might be targeting East Asian women, and something might be targeting Cora herself. This book provides a well-rounded reading experience by combining engaging storytelling with thoughtful exploration of ideas. Its balanced approach ensures that readers remain entertained while also finding meaning within the narrative. Many readers find the book appealing because it respects their intelligence. Rather than explaining every detail explicitly, the author allows meaning to emerge organically. This approach creates a more interactive and rewarding reading experience.
