In this second installment of Japanese bestselling author Tetsuya Honda’s much-loved Reiko Himekawa series, before worrying about finding the identity of the culprit in a murder case, police will first have to stretch their resources to discover the identity of the victim.
A severed left hand is found in a minivan abandoned on a dry riverbed. When Tokyo Metropolitan Police Force Lieutenant Reiko Himekawa and her team join the investigation, the hand is quickly identified as belonging to building contractor Kenichi Takaoka, and from the amount of blood spilled in the van, it is presumed that he was killed. However searches fail to turn up the rest of the body, and the mystery deepens when a childhood friend shown a photo of the victim declares, “That’s not Takaoka.”
The hand was actually cut from Kazutoshi Naito, who was believed to have killed himself thirteen years before. What has Himekawa stumbled into?

When a body wrapped in a blue plastic tarp and tied up with twine is discovered by the bushes near a quiet suburban Tokyo neighborhood, Lieutenant Reiko Himekawa and her squad take the case. The victim was slaughtered brutally–his wounds are bizarre, and no one can figure out the “what” or the “why” of this crime.
At age twenty-nine, Reiko Himekawa of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Homicide Division is young to have been made lieutenant, particularly because she lacks any kind of political or family connections. Despite barriers created by age, gender, and lack of connections, she is mentally tough, oblivious to danger, and has an impressive ability to solve crimes.
Reiko makes a discovery that leads the police to uncover eleven other bodies, all wrapped in the same sort of plastic. Few of the bodies are identifiable, but the ones that are have no connection to each other. The only possible clue is a long-shot lead to a website spoken only in whispers on the Internet, something on the dark web known as Strawberry Night.
But while Reiko is hunting the killer, the killer is hunting her … and she may very well have been marked as the next victim.
