Description
A collection of four novellas set in 1998, each centring around a mystery and the officer tasked with solving it. In "Season of Shadows", Personnel Futawatari is forced to investigate a legendary detective's behaviour; in "The Cry of the Earth", Shinto of Internal Affairs receives an anonymous tipoff about a Station Chief's visit to the red-light district, which turns out to be a red herring. Other novellas explore themes of obsession, office politics and inter-departmental conflicts, placing everyday characters between a rock and a hard place. Hideo Yokoyama's work blends Japanese culture with accessible storytelling, creating a unique and compelling narrative. This collection continues his exploration of the human condition, delving into the complexities of saving face and navigating office politics. With its blend of mystery, intrigue and character-driven drama, this book is an engaging read for fans of police procedural fiction.
