They built the most dangerous railroad in the world. Now, someone is building a graveyard along its tracks.
1882, Canadian Rockies. For Zhang Wei, a brilliant Chinese-Canadian laborer, the brutal work on the Canadian Pacific Railway is a sentence of slow death. Paid less, fed worse, and tasked with the most lethal jobs, he and his countrymen are treated as disposable-statistical losses in the great national enterprise.
When his only friend, Lin, is killed in a suspicious accident, Zhang is the only one who sees the murder hidden in the mishap. A cut rope. A misplaced boot print. The signs of a killer who uses the treacherous mountain itself as a weapon. While the white constabulary turns a blind eye, Zhang begins a solitary investigation, compiling a secret ledger of the dead.
His hunt pits him against a cunning adversary who stalks the camps, making the deaths of coolies look like the cost of doing business. As Zhang uncovers a pattern of ruthless elimination, he draws the killer's attention, becoming the next target in a deadly game. To survive and expose the truth, he must use his intellect to outmaneuver a monster, the hostile wilderness, and the pervasive racism of his superiors.
