Le Journal de chasse
Ichiro Honda mène une double vie : le jour, mari dévoué, il est aussi un ingénieur en informatique irréprochable.
La nuit, il déambule à Shinjuku, le quartier « chaud » de Tokyo, et écume les cabarets, boîtes de jazz et petites salles de cinéma à la recherche de proies, desfemmes qu’ilséduit pour une nuit et abandonne.
Ce système fonctionne à merveille et le satisfait pleinement jusqu’au jour où ses amantes trouvent la mort, chaque
fois de façon violente. Et si le chasseur était devenu le chassé ? Quand Ichiro comprend qu’il est tombé dans un piège et qu’on lui a volé son précieux « Journal de chasse », dans lequel il consigne tous ses faits d’armes, il est sûrement déjà trop tard.
Un roman fiévreux empli de désir et de vengeance, par l’une des grandes voix nippones du polar.
