Description
Chinatown, 1910.
A series of ritualistic murders are discovered six months after Max Elliot turned in his badge.
Victims of the media-dubbed “Chinatown Surgeon” are little more than piles of flayed skin. The bones of each body were stolen. This torturous method of execution had only been seen once before and that case remained unsolved.
Confident of a connection between the grisly crimes, police turn to the one man they believe can help.
With the allure of closure to his own personal tragedy, Max Elliot agrees to reinstatement for one last case. But the clues lead the unstable detective down a path he never could have imagined.
Follow Max as he penetrates a supernatural world of drugs, violence, and an ancient race of chemists whose hidden influence shaped human civilization.
