Publisher's Synopsis
Police detective Shunsuke Honma should be at the peak of his career, but he's on extended leave after the accidents that killed his wife and left him limping - until his self-imposed exile is interupted by a visit from a nephew whose fiancee has disappeared without trace. Honma's investigations receal a woman who has shrugged off her life as if it never belonged to her, and evaded all the red tape that Japan uses to keep tabs on its citizens.
