Twilight in Musashino - Seicho Matsumoto - książka

Opis

In 1959 Musashino, a young Japanese flight attendant's body is discovered strangled by the river's frozen banks. The police suspect foul play, yet their investigation hits a barrier of silence as they probe deeper. Central to the mystery is a foreign priest and the Guglielmo Church, a Christian mission engaged in charity work. The woman's link to this church is unmistakable, but the inquiry quickly takes a perilous turn, weaving in elements of drug trafficking, post-war aid initiatives, and fragile international relations. As Detective Fujisawa navigates through shadowy streets and diplomatic chambers, Seicho Matsumoto skillfully crafts a meticulous investigation, where truth is apparent, but justice remains elusive. The novel is translated from Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood.
