Opis

In a suburb on the outskirts of Tokyo, four girls drift through tedious summer school classes. Then Toshi's next-door neighbour is found brutally murdered and the girls suspect Worm, the neighbour's son. They become drawn into a treacherous vortex of brutality and seduction which rises from within themselves as well as the world around them.

Kirino uses her considerable narrative gifts to evoke the tedium, pressure and angst her teenage characters suffer Publishers Weekly

O autorze

Kirino, Natsuo
Natsuo Kirino, born in 1951, quickly established a reputation in Japan as one of a rare breed of crime writer whose work goes well beyond the conventional crime novel. This fact has been demonstrated by her winning not only Japan's top mystery award, for Out, but two of its major literary awards, the Naoki Prize and the Tanizaki Prize. Her novels available in English are Out, Grotesque, Real World and In.
