Homicide Detective Godai of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is assigned to investigate the puzzling death of Kensuke Shiraishi, a lawyer whose body is discovered on a Central Tokyo riverbank. The investigation takes an unexpected turn when Tatsuro Kuraki not only confesses to Shiraishi's murder but also claims responsibility for a thirty-year-old murder for which another man died in custody. Despite the seemingly neat resolution to two complex cases, Detective Godai senses that Kuraki's confession rings false and harbors deep suspicions. He is not alone in his doubts; the confessed murderer's son and the victim's daughter also strongly believe that both the act and the stated motives are untrue. As Godai delves deeper into the intricate web of relationships, he uncovers a more complex connection between the past and present murders, blurring the lines between innocence and guilt. This twisting and compelling crime novel explores the profound aftereffects of crime on the lives of those left behind by both victims and perpetrators. It challenges simple notions of good and evil, guilt and redemption, leading to a surprising and astonishing truth.
