A number of influential
South Korean nationals are committing suicide on UK soil. In all cases
they seem to simply drop whatever they're doing and swiftly - almost
vacantly - end their own lives. An electronics importer falls from the
top floor of his high-rise office, the ambassador to the UK shoots his
chauffeur and drives his own car off London Bridge, an actor sets fire
to himself during a movie premiere...
August and Toby investigate
and slowly uncover the ancient force of the Rain-Soaked Bride, a
ghostly spirit of vengeance that drags her enemies to their deaths.
Once
summoned the spirit cannot be dismissed until it takes the life it is
charged with, it will be unstoppable in its pursuit of the mortal it has
in its sights. Unfortunately, after getting too close to the source of
the spirit, that mortal is now Toby Greene.
