Carte

Komayo, o fostă gheișă care a abandonat lumea cartierelor de plăceri când s-a măritat, revine la Tokyo după moartea prematură a soțului. Nu vrea să-și petreacă restul zilelor într-un cătun uitat de lume și friguros, printre străini, săracă și anonimă; visează la o viață plină de lux, aproape de lumea strălucitoare a scenei, ca să poată practica artele tradiționale, iar singura soluție este să se reîntoarcă în lumea gheișelor.

One of the biggest-selling Japanese thrillers ever, and the inspiration for a cult film, The Devotion of Suspect X is now being discovered across the world. Its blend of a page-turning story, evocative Tokyo setting and utterly surprising ending make it a must-read for anyone interested in international fiction.

All clues point to Ayane being the logical suspect, but how could she have committed the crime when she was hundreds of miles away? As Tokyo police detective Kusanagi tries to unpick a seemingly unrelated sequence of events he finds himself falling for Ayane. When his judgement becomes dangerously clouded his assistant must call on an old friend for help; it will take a genius to unravel the most spectacular web of deceit they have ever faced...
