Ashes of a State Funeral

In the shadow of a state funeral for a fallen leader, a Korean tourist vanishes in the Eastern Sea Republic. As her husband digs deeper, he uncovers a labyrinth of historical grievances, illegal experiments, and a truth that burns hotter than justice itself. Written in the immersive, dual-narrative style of Erik Larson, the story weaves factual gravitas with the chilling suspense of a hidden crime, showing how the fire of righteousness, left unchecked, consumes everything it seeks to save.
