Description: Beneath the five interlinked rings of the Olympic flag, young women are being raped, mutilated and entombed in the concrete foundations of the new National Stadium. A prostitute, her beauty now ruined by a jigsaw of razor cuts ...and the star of the People's Republic carved deeply into her abdomen. Shanghai-based Senior Inspector Sun Piao has recently been released from Ankang - a mental hospital where he was sent for his own safety after his last case. Soon it becomes clear that the girls are being murdered by well-protected officers of the People's Liberation Army and Sun Piao cannot get close. His only hope is to approach the mysterious and powerful Citizen One...
