Summary
A new page-turner from Jeong Haeyeon, who has garnered the attention of readers and critics with her “The Day Series”, including a thriller that includes a shocking twist, The Place of Flamingo, and the dramatized The Day of Kidnapping. A crime thriller with a humorous tone, the book fetures the double protagonists of Na Hyung-jo, a quick thief, and Kim Hyung-rae, a cunning con artist.
The two shared a cell in Uijeongbu prison, where they friendly referred to each other as “Kim Hyung” and “Na Hyung,” and even promised to try their hand at getting big money once they were released. Na Hyung-jo, who was released on parole two months earlier, prepares to close a “big deal” with Kim Hyung-rae, and the two reunited as a “duo” are about to start their criminal activities together……
A seasoned storyteller, Jeong Haeyeon creates a familiar premise for crime content lovers, and then skillfully shatters readers’ expectations. The story of Na Hyung-jo, who was once referred to as “Korea’s Lupin,” and Kim Hyung-rae, who was a large-scale investment fraudster, and the situations that unfold in front of them is a fast-paced read. If you’re expecting a standard criminal buddy movie, you’ll be in for a very different surprise, but you’ll definitely enjoy the constant explosion of events and the twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. Add in the chilling development at the climax, unique to Jeong Haeyeon’s writing, and you will have a thriller worthy of summer reading.
