Book description
The train was late, and the wind was blowing Meng's coat open in the
snow. With no sign of his cousin, he needed somewhere to stay the
night. An old man enticed him to a second-rate hostel, and despite his
annoyance, Meng couldn't shake the feeling that he'd seen this place,
and the old man, before.
