A quick wit and a sharp tongue alone wont be enough for Captain Chyang Fang to survive this case.
Someone is murdering high-ranking Vietnamese government officials, so the head of Saigons homicide division, Captain Chyang Fang, a troubled Chinese Vietnamese man, is given the task of finding the killer. Hated by almost everyone in Saigon and an outcast in both Chinese and Vietnamese circles, Fang has to rely on his wit, biting sarcasm, and not-so-capable assistant, Sergeant Phana man who would rather play on his smartphone than workto find the killer who leaves toy cobras on the bodies of his victims.
With the aid of a hunchbacked coroner who honed his skills watching episodes of CSI, and following a key lead that stretches back to the days of the Vietnam War, Fang is led on an opium-addled journey through modern-day Saigon, and if the killer doesnt get him, the city and its people surely will.
