Liberation Street

Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China - a city beset by mid-summer heat, rainstorms, and murder. Prosecutor Xu Ya of the People's Procuratorate is summoned in the middle of the night to the disturbing death of a famous and politically-connected businessman in Plum Tree Pagodas, a luxury apartment complex owned by the influential family Fu - and ordered to investigate with the utmost secrecy. Meanwhile, Philip Ye, a homicide detective with Chengdu Public Security Bureau, has just returned from an ill-tempered holiday in the U.K. to discover that his unhappy protégé, Constable Ma Meili, has, against his strict instructions, taken on the case of a vicious killing of a retired army general - a crime that intrigues Philip Ye so much that he adopts the investigation as his own. Little do Philip Ye and Prosecutor Xu know that their respective investigations will yet again set them on a collision course - and that the assassins of both the businessman and retired army general are still stalking the rainswept streets of Chengdu.
