Seven Years of Darkness

About

When a young girl is found dead in a reservoir, two men become suspects: the dam keeper who discovered the body, and his volatile neighbor. Both are hiding something. The investigation unfolds across two timelines — the night of the crime and seven years later, when the dam keeper's son returns to confront the truth his father left behind. You-Jeong Jeong constructs her thriller with the patient architecture of a novelist who knows that the most devastating revelations are the ones the reader sees coming but cannot prevent. The father-son dynamic gives the mystery its emotional weight; the crime gives it its engine. A psychological thriller about the lies fathers tell to protect their children — and the moment when the children discover that protection was the biggest lie of all.
