Lucie Blackman--tall, blond, twenty-one years old--stepped out into
the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000, and disappeared
forever. The following winter, her dismembered remains were found
buried in a seaside cave. Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning
foreign correspondent, covered Lucie's disappearance and followed
the massive search for her, the long investigation, and the even
longer trial. Over ten years, he earned the trust of her family and
friends, won unique access to the Japanese detectives and Japan's
convoluted legal system, and delved deep into the mind of the man
accused of the crime, Joji Obara, described by the judge as
"unprecedented and extremely evil."
The result is a book at once thrilling and revelatory, ""In Cold
Blood "for our times" (Chris Cleave, author of "Incendiary "and
"Little Bee"). "The People Who Eat Darkness "is one of "Publishers
Weekly"'s Top 10 Best Books of 2012
