You-Jeong Jeong "Seven Years of Darkness" PDF

The truth always rises to the surface...

When a young girl is found dead in Seryong Lake, a reservoir in a remote South Korean village, the police immediately begin their investigation. At the same time, three men--Yongje, the girl's father, & two security guards at the nearby dam, each of whom has something to hide about the night of her death--find themselves in an elaborate game of cat & mouse as they race to uncover what happened to her, without revealing their own closely guarded secrets.


After a final showdown at the dam results in a mass tragedy, one of the guards is convicted of murder and sent to prison. For seven years, his son, Sowon, lives in the shadow of his father's shocking & inexplicable crime; everywhere he goes, a seemingly concerted effort to reveal his identity as the reviled mass murderer's son follows him. When he receives a package that promises to reveal at last what really happened at Seryong Lake, Sowon must confront a present danger he never knew existed.


Dark, disturbing, & full of twists & turns, Seven Years of Darkness is the riveting new novel from the internationally celebrated author of The Good Son. Translated by Chi-Young Kim.
