Description

In the heart of 1960s Tokyo, a brutal murder at Kamata Station ignites a complex investigation that will span seven months and the length of Japan. Inspector Imanishi is tasked with unraveling the mystery, piecing together fragments of evidence—a peculiar accent, a cryptic note—to identify both the victim and their killer. This gripping narrative plunges into the intricate social fabric of post-war Japan, exploring profound themes of identity, loyalty, and the secrets that lie beneath the surface of a meticulously ordered society. Seicho Matsumoto masterfully crafts a suspenseful journey that questions the very nature of truth and belonging.
