CHO YEEUN was born in 1993 and won the Grand Prize at the Kyobo Story Contest for her debut novel, Shift. Her books, often sitting at the boundary of literary, weird, and speculative fiction, have sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Korea. Her other works include the cult hit The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre, as well as Cocktails, Love and Zombies and Teddy Bears Never Die.

YEWON JUNG is a reader first and translator second. Her translations include The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre by Cho Yeeun and The Specters of Algeria by Hwang Yeo Jung. She lives on a small island in Korea with her husband and enjoys taking long walks along the beach.

Detective Yi Chang needs another miracle. Ten years ago his sister was healed of her deadly cancer by a mysterious cult leader, but now his young niece has inherited the same disease. The only lead Yi Chang has is the body of a murder victim found in an abandoned building in the Korean seaside. The man was stabbed repeatedly, but the knife found next to the body is covered with someone else’s blood. Even stranger, the victim’s face is covered with malignant melanoma, a disease he did not have. With time running short, Yi Chang must discover how this murder is related to the cult leader he so desperately seeks.

Award-winning Korean science fiction and fantasy sensation Cho Yeeun, author of the hit The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre, is back with a haunting tale that explores the price we pay for miracles.
