A dizzying tale of lust and murder, from Masako Togawa - nightclub owner, cabaret singer, queer icon and one of Japan's greatest mystery writers
'Full of subtly menacing tensions and sharp psychological insights' Kirkus Reviews
Ichiro Honda leads a double life. By day he is a devoted husband and diligent worker, by night he moves through the shadow world of Tokyo's cabaret bars and nightclubs in search of vulnerable women to seduce and then abandon.
But when a trail of bodies seems to appear in his wake, the hunter becomes the prey and Ichiro realises he has been caught in a snare. Can he free himself before it's too late, or has fate finally caught up with this lady killer?
