A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Praise for The Informer

"Intricate . . . The reader is left in suspense until the end."
—The Washington Post Book World

“Takagi’s just-the-facts-ma’am pace brings us swiftly to a clever and surprising conclusion.”
—The Wall Street Journal

"There are many webs and one or more deadly spiders spinning them in this intricate tale of deceit and murder."
—Publishers Weekly

“The Informer . . . offers the reader an intriguing insight into life in a post-World War II Japan.”
—Crimespree

Praise for Akimitsu Takagi

"A delightful, different book, not only because of its unusual setting and premise, but because Takagi is a powerful plotter and constructor of fascinating, complex characters."
—The A.V. Club

"Takagi’s factional environment is reminiscent of the postwar photos of Tadahiko Hayashi, who captured telling images of demobbed soldiers, bars set up on garbage pits, bicycle rickshaws, smoking street waifs and striptease joints. More than a mere novel, Takagi has left us a document of the times."
—The Japan Times

"Intricate, fantastic, and utterly absorbing. More, please."
—Kirkus Reviews

Présentation de l'éditeur

After being fired from his job when the private hedge fund he managed was hit with heavy losses, Shiego Segawa is approached with an offer of highly paid work as an industrial spy. How could he say no? Soon he is assigned to investigate a chemical firm run by the husband of his former girlfriend. The goal: seduce the wife and steal an important chemical formula. But when the husband is murdered, Segawa finds himself the prime suspect. The evidence stacked against Segawa doesn't look good, but a young prosecutor suspects there's more in this complex case of greed, deception, infidelity, and manipulation than meets the eye.
