Although there are lots of English books that I will have to struggle with in my book shelves, it was not easy to resist the temptation that this one stretched out to me quietly with the blurb which says 'An orthodox HARD-BOILED MYSTERY in the 'Raymond Chandler' style!'.Moreover the vague memory that a couple of magnificent JAPANESE hard-boiled writers have left to me -almost faded but still remaining as significant- has done it's bit.
To be honest, I really have no idea when I turn over the last page of this book. All I just can say now is I'm going to open the book whenever I have some free time and need a bit of comfort to overcome the homesick, which is more and more heavier every day.
