Features: The "First Contemporary Chinese Detective Novel Competition" collected over a thousand detective novels, both original and translated, published between 1949 and 1998, including works from Taiwan and Macau. In the final selection, seventy-six works, including seventeen translations, were chosen as winners of the inaugural competition. From the perspective of subject matter and content, these works adhere to the principle of realism, representing the mainstream of contemporary Chinese detective fiction at the current stage. This has led to the following trends in modern Chinese detective novels:
1. Boldly depicting life, showing major events of different eras and the diverse human experiences during periods of social transformation.
2. Emphasizing character description and personality development.
3. Contemporary detective novels also focus on psychological analysis of criminals and the exploration of human nature. This series, "Unicorn Library," is selected from the outstanding works of the authors who participated in this competition. It is the first authoritative showcase of detective novels since the founding of New China. This book is one of them.
