The Silence of Sin
14.99 €
Is it possible to solve a case when reality itself turns out to be just a fragment of a vast illusion?
An atmospheric detective story about memory, guilt, and the search for a solution where no one expects it.
In a rainy Japanese town where nothing ever happens, a boy named Ryo was kidnapped by unknown assailants. Three years later, he suddenly returned, but hasn't said a word about his whereabouts since. Immediately after his unlikely return, his relatives withdrew and refused to cooperate with the police. The investigation came to nothing. But everything changes when, many years later, journalist Monden, accidentally drawn into this case that had hit a wall of silence, decides to get to the bottom of the truth...
He interviews former investigators, analyzes the scant evidence, and tries to establish contact with Ryo's family. And gradually, he realizes that the kidnapping is just the tip of the iceberg. His search turns into an unpredictable game with the past, filled with lies hidden behind good intentions and family comfort. These lies are so pervasive that every conversation seems like a piece of a vast puzzle to Mondain—and the journalist can no longer discern where truth ends and fiction begins. He must find the first person to emerge from the abyss of silence…
