Who could have imagined that this case would go from simple to fantastically incredible...
In January 1984, the body of a young woman named Chizuko Kujo was discovered by pure chance in the bathroom of her own apartment. The killer had taken not only her life, but also her face—he had flayed it and gouged out her eyes for some unknown purpose.
The victim had always dreamed of riding the Hayabusa overnight express. And she was on it... at the very moment when, according to the forensic examination, she was being murdered! Incredibly, a series of photographs documented this fact. And without any editing. But how could a woman be in two places at once: one dead, and the other alive?
Young police detective Takeshi Yoshiki possesses excellent instincts and a brilliant logical mind. But it seems that this is not enough. To get closer to the solution, he will have to travel by train across almost all of Japan and take on one very risky undertaking...
