Lucie Blackman—tall, blond, twenty-one years old—stepped out
into the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000, and
disappeared forever. The following winter, her dismembered
remains were found buried in a seaside cave. Richard Lloyd
Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, covered
Lucie’s disappearance and followed the massive search for
her, the long investigation, and the even longer trial. Over
ten years, he earned the trust of her family and friends,
won unique access to the Japanese detectives and Japan’s
convoluted legal system, and delved deep into the mind of
the man accused of the crime, Joji Obara, described by the
judge as “unprecedented and extremely evil.”
