Mystery
When a body wrapped in a blue plastic tarp and tied up with
twine is discovered near the bushes near a quiet suburban
Tokyo neighborhood, Lt. Reiko Himekawa and her squad take
the case. The victim was slaughtered brutally---his wounds
are bizarre, and no one can figure out the "what" or the
"why" of this crime. At age twenty-nine, Reiko
Himekawa of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's Homicide
Division is young to have been made lieutenant, particularly
because she lacks any kind of political or family
connections. Despite barriers created by age, gender, and
lack of connections, she is mentally tough, oblivious to
danger, and has an impressive ability to solve
crimes. Reiko makes a discovery that leads the police
to uncover eleven other bodies, all wrapped in the same sort
of plastic. Few of the bodies are identifiable, but the ones
that are have no connection to each other. The only possible
clue is a long shot lead to a website spoken only in
whispers on the Internet, something on the dark web known as
"Strawberry Night." But while she is hunting the
killer, the killer is hunting her... and she may very well
have been marked as the next victim.
