The Devil's Daffodil
A mid-century crime procedural centered on a detective's pursuit of a serial killer and drug smuggling operation, driven by plot mechanics and clever criminal ingenuity rather than psychological depth.
A Chinese detective breaks up a drug smuggling ring and tries to find the "Daffodil Killer". The drug smugglers had devised the ingenious method of smuggling heroin from Hong Kong in the stems of daffodils.
