About This Book
Sixteen-year-old Mamoru Kusaka has recently moved to Tokyo to live with
his aunt and uncle after the death of his mother. Just as he is
beginning to adjust to his new life, his uncle is involved in a
late-night accident while driving his taxicab. A young coed is dead and
Uncle Taiko is charged with manslaughter, even though the circumstances
seem suspect. Struggling to help his uncle, Mamoru discovers that the
victim had been involved in a cruel scam with three other young women.
Two of the four have also recently died in similarly violent incidents.
Several days after the accident, a powerful businessman comes forward as
a witness. But instead of making things clearer, the mans testimony only
adds more confusing lies and deceptions to an already puzzling case, as
Mamoru races to save the last of the four women targeted by the real
killer.
Born in Tokyo in 1960, Miyuki Miyabe began writing while working at a
law firm she had joined after graduating from high school. An
extraordinarily successful author, almost all of her books have made the
bestseller lists, and many have been turned into movies or television
dramas. In addition to mysteries, she writes period and science fiction.
