The Magistrate
A cabal of high-level civil servants has a tight grip on graft and corruption in Northern China's Harbin City. For years, the members of this group, the so-called Nangang Benevolent Society, have raked in ill-gotten riches at the expense of ordinary citizens, but now they are being targeted by a shadowy figure who calls himself the Magistrate.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Inspector Lu Fei is called to the scene of a brutal murder - the body of a foreign gangster has been found burned beyond recognition. His investigation reveals that someone is systematically attacking local sex-trafficking networks that prey on young women who have defected from North Korea.
Lu Fei soon finds himself drawn back to Harbin City, connecting the threads of vice, corruption, and murder.
