About This Book
A Historical Mystery by Korean-American Author Juhea Kim, Winner of the Edgar Award
Set in early 19th-century Joseon, after the death of King Jeongjo and during Queen Dowager Jeongsuns regency, this gripping novel unfolds amidst a time of political intrigue, betrayal, and murder. The story follows a sixteen-year-old female investigator, Seol, a damo (a low-ranking female officer), as she relentlessly pursues the truth behind a series of mysterious events.
More than just a crime drama, the novel explores the journey of marginalized individuals discovering their true voice and identity in a world riddled with power struggles and conspiracies. Alongside Seol are unforgettable women characters like Lady Oh, who teaches her servant to read, saying no one is born a slave; and Madam Kang, who dons mens clothing to secretly help others, insisting that fear should never be an excuse to abandon what is right. These resilient women continue to act on their convictions, no matter how severely life shakes themoffering a powerful portrayal of courage, justice, and inner strength.
