Six Four (English Edition)

Mark Lawson

The annual search for an involving, original thriller for holiday reading has been triply answered this time. Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama, translated by Jonathan Lloyd-Davies (Quercus), kicks off with a Tokyo cop, shamefully demoted from detective to press officer, spotting an anomaly in a missing persons case from 14 years before: his reinvestigation brutally and brilliantly illuminates Japanese politics, media and culture.
