Homicide detective (1998) ISBN: 4105075071

The gritty urban environment really adds to the suspense. I'm curious if the author drew from real locations or created a fictional world for the story.

The story seemed to take a breath before ramping up again. Wondering if this was to develop characters or build tension for the climax.

The detective's unique traits stand out, and I'm interested in what inspired his character arc and background.
