Is it possible to unravel the case if reality itself turns out to be just a fragment of a huge illusion?An atmospheric detective story about memory, guilt and the search for a solution where no one expects it. In a rainy Japanese town where nothing ever happens, the boy Ryo was abducted by unknown people. Three years later, he suddenly returned, but since then he has not said a word about where he was all this time. Immediately after his incredible return, his relatives withdrew into themselves and refused to cooperate with the police. The investigation ended with nothing. But everything changes when, many years later, the journalist Mondain, accidentally drawn into this case that crashed against the wall of silence, decides to get to the truth.…He interviews former investigators, analyzes the scant evidence, and tries to establish contact with the Re family. And gradually realizes that the abduction is just the tip of the iceberg. His search turns into an unpredictable game with the past, which is filled with lies hidden behind good intentions and family comfort. The lies are so pervasive that Mondan sees every conversation as part of a huge puzzle, and the journalist is no longer able to figure out where the truth ends and fiction begins. It is necessary to find someone who will be the first to venture out of the abyss of silence ... THE NOVEL IS TRANSLATED FROM JAPANESE.
