In January 1989, a seven-year-old girl is kidnapped in northern Tokyo. The parents never learn the identity of the kidnapper, nor do they ever see their daughter again. This case, known as Six Four, remains unsolved. More than a decade later, the police press chief is forced to revisit the event, the failure of which continues to be a source of scandal. Veteran Mikami only intends to help the victim's family and clean up the reputation of the force, but upon detecting an irregularity in the file, he discovers a crime with unimaginable secrets. A fascinating psychological thriller with overwhelming verisimilitude, which immerses you in the society and mechanisms of information control in Japan.
