In the middle of the night, a car drives off a pier. An elderly man drowns, but his young wife lives. The wife’s name is Kumako Onizuka, and with a past stained by yakuza entanglements and criminal activity, she is accused of orchestrating the accident for a large insurance payout. Onizuka’s guilt seems obvious to local journalist Moichi Akitani, and while he enjoys newfound success after writing a series of articles about the crime, his portrayal of her as a devious femme fatale turns the community against her.
Onizuka’s lawyers are hounded by the press, yet all the reporters can glean is her unwavering declaration of innocence. This amuses Akitani, who continues to bask in his journalistic renown. But when a surprisingly scrupulous public defender takes on her case, Akitani begins to doubt himself, and he fears what might happen if Onizuka ever gets wind of the contempt he spread.

Critic Reviews
“The Sunday Times famously dubbed mystery author Matsumoto as ‘Japan’s Agatha Christie,’ but that comparison is a bit reductive. . . . The portrayal of the sleazy journalist who is dead set on framing the protagonist for murder is a darker, creepier creation than Christie was capable of summoning.”—The Seattle Times
