Here is a deftly written thriller that is also a 'deep and moody' (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW) journey through the dark side of Japan's consumer-crazed society. Ordinary people plunge into insurmountable personal debt and fall prey to dangerous webs of underground creditors-so dangerous, in fact, that murder may be the only way out. A beautiful young woman vanishes, and the detective quickly finds she is not whom she claims to be. Is she a victim, a killer, or both? In a country that tracks its citizens at every turn, how can two women claim the same identity and then disappear without a trace?… (more)

Japanese crime story involves a 'disappearance' and money problems. ( )

Seemed very mystery focused so the not-related bits that popped up felt a little forced like I was just waiting for when that would create a lightbulb moment related to the case. Also, some of the translation was weird. 'Keeping up with the Tanakas' kind of threw me. I mean, yes, I get the meaning behind it but it just feels weird. Overall I felt that this started very promising but just kind of flattened out into a lecture about credit cards and it lost a lot of steam for me there. But it was interesting to see the different structure of things in Japan compared to what I am used to. ( )

The way the investigator's boy partially knows, comes to know, and yet can't fully know the motives of the adult characters perfectly evokes the way no person can truly know another's inner world.
Inside this milieux we explore the way debt and credit create another layer of personae and motive - for people to tend, investigate, punish and escape in their encounters with one another.
A world where a person can exhibit fastidious personal habits, love and be loved, while at the same time live duplicitously and in fear because of a ruined financial reputation. This world is the world we've created and the place our children will have to navigate as they search for love, home, security, community - the author leaves us wondering if anyone can truly connect with another in this place or reconcile past with present .

A well paced mystery in which a young woman goes missing and the harsh realities of life as an independent young woman in late 20th century Japan are encountered repeatedly as the facts behind who is missing and why are extracted by a police detective on leave and the people and resources he musters, including his own considerable intellect and flexibility.

An off-duty cop story, but this cop is a dedicated dad and still grieving widower. Not drinking. A good guy cop. And the crime is one of society. The cop sympathizes with the killer trapped by circumstance. Lectures on personal debt and credit card crazes. Lots of duty and fear of being different. Also, a good explanation of family registers (family matters in Japan) if you are interested. ( )
