«Lady Killer» is the mystery novel by Masako Togawa, published in 1991 by Ediciones B in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The novel takes place in nocturnal Tokyo, among bars, brothels and anonymous dwellings, where desire and loneliness intersect. Young women are found murdered after seeking a moment of pleasure, and the narrative mixes victims and executioners in a macabre atmosphere. Vengeance stands as the central theme, treated with a sensual and refined craft.
The Spanish translation is by Cristina Macía. The work was published in Japanese in 1963 as «猟人日記» and was nominated for the Naoki Prize. The work belongs to the Tiempos Modernos collection.
For readers of crime fiction and thrillers seeking a classic of Japanese literature with a noir atmosphere.
