'Mind Hunter' and 'The Silence of the Lambs' in Seoul.
The book has been translated into all major languages of the world.
Killers are born - or become? This thriller is a piercing illustration of the processes of psychological decay in a family, when an innocent child is corrupted by the cruelty and indifference of adults. It is written with such believable inventiveness that in the end the reader is left speechless.
'Cage with a Predator'
Aspiring criminal psychologist profiler Lee Songyeong is amazed. Lee Byungdo himself wanted to talk to her. A horrifying serial killer sentenced to death. He remained silent during interrogations, like a fish, and did not give a single interview - neither to journalists nor psychologists. And now he is taking the initiative himself... And he only wants to speak with Songyeong...
'Sweet Dreams... Mommy'
At the same time, 11-year-old Hayeon appears in her house - her husband's daughter from his first marriage, about whom he never spoke. Under mysterious circumstances, the girl's mother died first, and then her grandparents. Songyeong tries to surround the poor girl with warmth and care, but she behaves very strangely, frighteningly. But the most important thing is her eyes. As if the psychopath Lee Byungdo is staring intently from under her long eyelashes...

'So Mi-e skillfully spins the narrative, gradually intensifying it, and leads to a shocking ending... She masterfully shows flashes of humanity in a ruthless killer.' - Publishers Weekly

'Dark and electrifying book.' - Josh Malerman
