Seven Years of Darkness by  You-jeong Jeong

Seven Years of Darkness

You-jeong Jeong

A young girl is found dead in Seryong Lake. Three men know part of the truth: the girl's father, and two security guards at the nearby dam. One of the guards is convicted of murder. Seven years later his son tries to piece together what really happened. A thriller with a distinctly Korean flavour. You will find yourself right inside the heads of these troubled characters as they try to survive in a world as murky as the waters of the reservoir.
