A detective must find a missing fiancee. He negotiates a seemingly never-ending maze of outrageous Japanese paperwork such as the credit system, family registries, and insurance. Is the woman a runaway, a murder victim, or is she the mastermind of a extravagant identity theft? Set in Japan in the 1990's, the author does a great job narrating the Japanese names, places, and social systems without losing the reader. The story draws you in, and keeps you until the end of the book because only then, on the second to last page, do you really know what happened to the woman and her worth.
