A string of grisly homicides lead a young female cop towards a mysterious website--but she has to fight against the rigid political and social structure of Tokyo's police world all the while--in Tetsuya Honda's The Silent Dead.
This is the first English translation in Honda's popular police procedural series, which has also found its way to movies and television in Japan.
Despite some gory trappings, the characters and relationships are easily digestible and television-ready. The story is not overly demanding, but of more interest to readers who want a glimpse of contemporary Japanese culture.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read it quickly.
