What a superb book - slow build and burn, then oomph in with the big hits. Tense, taut and no frills prose, for a little while you think it's going to be a run of the mill info over-dump procedural novel but it becomes so much more - reflecting on the roles of police and press in society and crime solving the place of victims in the process and the way in which the internal machinations of the Japanese police. - if this is the state of contemporary Japanese crime fiction then sign me up for more. Oh and superb translation job by Jonathan Lloyd-Davies.
