Based on an actual incident, Shigeo Segawa, once a successful stock trader, is left jobless, his risky and manipulative trading activities having caught up with him. Out of luck and full of shame at his poverty, Segawa is taken in by a high-paying job offer, which leads him down the path of industrial espionage and towards the betrayal of a good friend and his old company. When his friend is murdered, Segawa becomes the logical suspect. But a sharp young prosecutor named Kirishima begins to think that perhaps the blame lies elsewhere - with the informer who told the dead friend what Segawa had done. With a typically rich and complex plot, layered with detailed and authentic settings, this novel rates among the highest of Takagi's eminently successful books.
