Description
Last Violent Call brings us back to Chloe Gong’s Secret Shanghai universe in two tightly woven novellas. In Zhouzhuang, Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov are alive, married, and trying to keep their heads down after faking their deaths in Shanghai. When a desperate teenager begs for help protecting his fiancée—a refugee hunted by a shadowy lab from Vladivostok—their quiet life fractures fast. Juliette and Roma follow the trail through empty townships, mercenaries with angel tattoos, and a slippery scientist named Pyotr. The answer comes with a choice: keep hiding, or step in to stop a cruel experiment that forces girls to tear out their own throats at the prick of a needle. Then we shift to January 1932: Benedikt Montagov and Marshall Seo board the Trans-Siberian Express for Vladivostok. A man turns up dead in his compartment—pen in throat, coat stand snapped, a threat smeared on the washroom mirror. The train can’t stop. With a teenage would-be journalist and a grumbling officer in tow, the two “private investigators” race for clues that lead back to a familiar name. Underneath the action beats one theme: love and loyalty can be violent, tender, and life-saving, all at once.
