Description 작품 소개

*Exclusive option by Eric Yang Agency

A high school girl is found murdered.

But just when you think it’s safe, brace yourself for the real twist.

THE SUSPECTS is a mystery novel by Jeong Haiyeon, who has emerged as one of top thriller writers in Korea with her outstanding narrative tricks. An 18-year-old high school girl, Yujeong, who had been missing, is discovered dead, strangled in an abandoned building with no CCTV. As the police investigate the people around Yujeong to find her killer, the investigation continues to face difficulties. Yujeong’s father, her best friend, her boyfriend, and even her school teacher—all had been in contact with her but have solid alibis.
Each chapter introduces a new suspect, and through unraveling their memories, the story gradually reveals what happened to Yujeong leading up to her death. With every page turn, a new suspect emerges as the prime suspect, but the investigation remains unsolved. Meanwhile, there is a hideous truth that must never be revealed about those around Yujeong…
The novel vividly portrays the environment of Korean high schools and the lives of parents with high school children, focusing on exposing the dark private lives individuals hold. Its gripping power makes it a one-sitting read, maximizing Jeong Haiyeon’s hallmark as a page-turner. After finishing the book, the reader realizes that the only person who truly condoles Yujeong is the reader themselves, leaving a bittersweet and poignant emotion rather than the thrill of solving the crime.
