Description

The Rope Artist by Fuminori Nakamura is a chilling new mystery that delves into Japan's underground BDSM scene and the complex cultural history of kinbaku, a form of rope bondage. A series of murders unfolds, each with its own unique knotting pattern, leaving detectives struggling to untangle the truth. As two detectives investigate, they are drawn into a world of dark desires and twisted power dynamics. One is haunted by his own transgressive impulses, while the other is driven by an unyielding commitment to justice. As their parallel investigations spiral out of control, the lines between good and evil begin to blur. This genre-homage novel shines a light on the most dangerous elements of the human psyche, presenting a viscerally painful yet unexpectedly hopeful portrayal of identity, violence, sexuality, power, and the occult.
