A very clever novel that explores the consequences of a murder from the perspectives of the murderer, the police investigators, and the man who engages in a battle of wits with the police...a page-turning thriller

t noir novels
Intricate and beguiling...if you like riddles inside enigmas, it will please you no end
It's the details that hold the key to this enjoyable read
Meticulous...a thriller hung on obsessional love and impeccable logic which drags you along with a teasing ??ow did he do it??logic...there's a tremendous sense of the more down-at-heel Tokyo neighbourhoods...and the ending is a killer twist
