This is a fascinating novel about love, death, life and fantasy, and desire. A cool and beautiful fantasy world of Kang JiYoung unfolds.
“I work as a mart cashier and infer my job and inclination from the items purchased by customers. One day, a presumed novelist appears, and that night, a young woman is killed. A bond and comb were bought by the novelist and were used as murder weapons. Is he really a novelist? Or is it a murderer? A receipt that combines modern people's preferences and desires, and a mart cashier that reads between the lines, are hidden detectives in our society. From mart to murder, a mystery drama that combines completely different materials and elements unfolds interestingly.”- RidiBooks
