Summary
A gritty road-rage thriller by Kim Jong-il, a leading voice in Korean horror and suspense fiction.
Three years ago, ambulance driver Mu-young and his wife, Su-jeong, lost their unborn child in a multi-vehicle collision caused by road rage. Ever since, they have struggled to rebuild their lives, haunted by the trauma of that day.
Soon, disturbing incidents unfold around Mu-young: a driver going the wrong way down a one-way street, an extreme case of road rage, and a drunken passenger assaulting a bus driver. Profiler Ye-ryeong believes these seemingly unrelated incidents are connected to a supernatural entity known as “Daejabi”. Convinced that Mu-young can sense its presence, she asks for his help.
When Mu-young finally spots the Daejabi, he races after it, igniting a heart-pounding chase on the road. Can he stop the Daejabi and reclaim his life? The latest novel by Kim Jong-il, whose works—including Body, The Witch’s Girl, Claws, and The Brass Bull—have been optioned for film.
