Lucie Blackmanβtall, blond, twenty-one years oldβstepped 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 Lucieβs 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 Japanβs convoluted legal system, and delved deep into the mind of the man accused of the crime, Joji Obara, described by the judge as βunprecedented and extremely evil.β
