In his early 40s, Nobuhito Natsume is a late-blooming rookie cop, having switched careers after many years as a legal counselor in a juvenile correctional institute. Assigned to the East Ikebukuro Police Precinct in Tokyo, Natsume goes from a job of trusting people to one that requires doubting them. But he aims to get at the truth of a case in a deliberate, careful and sensitive means, speaking from his heart and digging up truths locked away in people's minds. Taking on all manner of heinous crimes of varying motives, Natsume himself comes from a family victimized by crime, exuding the compassion that only those truly hurt by crime can understand, and squarely facing the loneliness of both criminals and victims. He is a man with the lucid vision to see into the human soul and glean the truth of shocking cases despite their many twists and turns. Here is a compelling mystery thriller with a very human face.
