On August 15, 1946‰ÛÓthe first anniversary of the Japanese surrender‰ÛÓthe partially decomposed, raped, and strangled bodies of two women are found in Shiba Park. More murders will soon be uncovered: women killed in the same way, and, it becomes clear, by the same hand.
Narrated by the irreverent, despairing yet determined Detective Minami of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Tokyo Year Zero tells a fictionalized story of the real-life hunt for ‰ÛÏthe Japanese Bluebeard‰‰ÛÓa decorated Imperial soldier who raped and murdered at least ten women amid the bleak turmoil of post-war Japan (‰ÛÏone huge sea of displaced persons . . . one minute here and one minute gone‰). And it is the story of Detective Minami: chasing down, and haunted by, memories of atrocities that he can no longer explain or forgive.
