A dark and gripping mystery from acclaimed author Cho Yeeun. A bizarre and gruesome murder has occured in an abandoned building on a deserted beach—the victim is submerged in a pool of blood, yet the amount of blood is far too much for a single death. The corpse also shows signs of advanced terminal skin cancer. Detective Lee Chang quickly realises this is no ordinary murder.

Behind the murder lies shocking secret: a rare and sinister ability to "shift" or transfer injury or disease from one person to another. From the author of The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre, Cho Yeeun's Shift is visceral and haunting tale that blurs the lines between victim and monster, exploring themes of power, pain, and justice. This fast-paced and immersive narrative will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
