A review by jwilly19
Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama

4.0

A wonderful book. Not the fast-paced thriller you might be craving when you turn to the mystery shelf, but Yokoyama somehow makes the internecine strife of a local Japanese police branch gripping in and of itself. There is an overarching criminal mystery, complete with a rather ingenious twist -- but at its heart this is a novel of Japanese workplace politics -- and a great one at that.
