Books like Six four by Hideo Yokoyama
For five days in January 1989, parents of a seven‑year‑old Tokyo schoolgirl endured the demands of an unidentified kidnapper. They never learned who the kidnapper was or saw their daughter again.
The case, known as Six Four, became emblematic of a failed police investigation and left the Japanese public stunned for fourteen years. In late 2002, a police department press officer confronted an anomaly that could not have been imagined, revealing a shocking truth that altered the narrative of this cold case.
The unfolding of the investigation illustrates the complexities of criminal justice in Japan, world festooned with intrigue and a lingering sense of injustice.
