A Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardback of Hideo Yokoyama's 2012 procedural, translated from Japanese by Jonathan Lloyd-Davies. The novel centers on a police press officer revisiting a fourteen-year-old kidnapping case known as 'Six Four' while coping with his own missing daughter. It is long, deliberate, and more interested in institutional shame than in action. The FSG paperback is thick, with the restrained cover design the house uses for translated crime that expects to be taken seriously. Ideal reader: the reader who does not mind 500 pages of police bureaucracy if the moral weight is heavy enough, or the crime fan ready for a slower tempo.
