Online, a vigilante announces their intention of meting out justice for unpunished crimes. Users are invited to submit names

Set in the near future, The Book of M tells the story of a mysterious natural disaster that causes people’s shadows to disappear and, shortly thereafter, their memories. The phenomenon imbues its victims with strange magic but at a horrible price: it robs them of a memory each time they use it. Many try to resist the power, but the temptation is too great. As the victims forget more and more of who they are, reality begins to bend to reflect their fractured recollections, plunging the world into a terrifying, ever-shifting alternate landscape.

Despite publishing the name of each victim and the date of execution — their death notice — the police are simply unable to stop the killer. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is assembled, comprising a criminal psychologist, a SWAT captain, an Online Surveillance Officer and Detective Luo Fei. As they pursue the killer, the SIT will be drawn ever deeper into dark and dangerous territory. What is the connection to a highly classified 18-year-old case that saw two similar ‘death notice’ murders? What is Detective Luo’s personal connection to that case? And finally, what crimes might the members of the SIT be guilty of? And what will they do to keep them secret?
