The Ruined Map

Gary Homewood

Detective in search of a missing husband. Strange, disarming, odd and occasionally sinister. All characters with unclear and ambiguous motivations. Parts like a fever dream. Kafka + Murakami.

Spencer T

In this gripping novel by the author of The Woman in the Dunes, an alluring woman hires a private eye to track down her missing husband. The detective's investigation takes him deep into Tokyo's sleazy underworld, with its back-alley nude bars, savage gangs, and relentless violence. Before long, he is facing both outward danger and inward turmoil as he comes to identify with the man he is hunting. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
