In this gripping novel by the author of The Woman in the Dunes, an alluring woman hires a private eye to track down her missing husband. The detective's investigation takes him deep into Tokyo's sleazy underworld, with its back-alley nude bars, savage gangs, and relentless violence. Before long, he is facing both outward danger and inward turmoil as he comes to identify with the man he is hunting.
