On a foggy day, a handsome young man arrives at a university hospital in Busan. He is 'Yama,' a hired assassin who has come for Dr. Yu Han-baek, a world-renowned bacteriologist currently hospitalized. After separating Dr. Yu from his daughter Bo-hwa, who has been caring for him, Yama murders the doctor and vanishes calmly into the fog. A few days later, Yama breaks into Bo-hwa's home to eliminate her, since she had witnessed his face. He assaults her, but is so struck by her beauty that he cannot bring himself to kill her. Having suffered this violation and burned the killer's face into her memory, Bo-hwa vows revenge against the man who murdered her father and violated her. Having studied art, she uses her memory to create a composite sketch of the killer's face and brings it to Detective Jo Mun-gi. Independent of the police investigation, Bo-hwa uses the vast fortune left by her father to hire two men to help track down the culprit. Slowly, her father's hidden past comes to light. Dr. Yu Han-baek, a graduate of Princeton University's medical school in the United States, had once worked at the medical faculty of Tokyo Imperial University in Japan, where he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Japanese army and took part in biological warfare research. Years later, he is visited by mysterious men who threaten him and order him to carry out a horrifying biological attack. When he fails to comply, the shadowy Japanese organization known as 'R' sentences him to death—and carries out the sentence. Having been assaulted by the killer and now carrying his child, what will become of Bo-hwa's revenge? As Detective Jo becomes further entangled in the case, the mystery grows ever more complex... With the thrill and gripping intensity that only a true mystery novel can deliver, this story keeps readers riveted from beginning to end.
