A collection of four novellas: each taking place in 1998, each set
in the world of Six Four, and each centring around a mystery and
the unfortunate officer tasked with solving it. SEASON OF SHADOWS
"The force could lose face . . . I want you to fix this."
Personnel's Futawatari receives a horrifying memo forcing him to
investigate the behaviour of a legendary detective with unfinished
business. CRY OF THE EARTH "It's too easy to kill a man with a
rumour." Shinto of Internal Affairs receives an anonymous tipoff
alleging a Station Chief is visiting the red-light district - a
warning he soon learns is a red herring. BLACK LINES "It was
supposed to be her special day." Section Chief Nanao, responsible
for the force's 49 female officers, is alarmed to learn her star
pupil has not reported for duty, and is believed to be missing.
BRIEFCASE "We need to know what he's going to ask." On the eve of a
routine debate, Political Liaison Tsuge learns a wronged politician
is preparing his revenge. He must now quickly dig up dirt to
silence him. Prefecture D continues Hideo Yokoyama's exploration of
the themes of obsession, saving face, office politics and
inter-departmental conflicts. Placing everyday characters between a
rock and a hard place and then dialling up the pressure, he blends
and balances the very Japanese with the very accessible, to
spectacular effect.
