When her protege is nearly assassinated, the Martian warrior is forced to flee with Lunae to the flooded northern islands of what was once Japan. But then the child and the kappa go missing en route, leaving Dreams-of-War determined to return to the plains of Mars in order to discover the truth about Martian rule over Earth, and the nature of the intrigues behind it...

Инспектора уголовной полиции Чэня побаиваются даже опытные коллеги. И дело не только в том, что он мастерски владеет как традиционным оружием полицейского, так и многими духовными практиками. Но главным образом потому, что по долгу службы он иногда наведывается в Ад, где не боится призвать к ответу нарушивших закон демонов разных мастей и служебного положения. Чэню поручено расследование нового дела. На этот раз погибла девушка, но ее дух так и не достиг Небесных берегов и задержался где-то у ворот Ада вместо того, чтобы обитать в персиковых садах Рая. Спускаясь в преисподнюю в поисках призрака умершей, детектив сталкивается с…
