Detective v.s. Detectives II turns out to be a chilling, delightful and oh-so-fucking-cool hard boiled thriller. Damn! So far this series feels like the Japanese answer to
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
!
Review for the prequel: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
No wonder this series had been adapted into a TV series in Japan. (I just love the casting!)
In this sequel, the heroine is still on a quest to find out the true identity of a shady private investigator, who had sold the personal information of the heroine's younger sister to a sick stalker (who later brutally murdered said sister). Her investigation leads her to a group of gangsters, who cleverly kidnapped 11 abused women from a highly secured facility and planning to sell those women back to their abusive, murderous ex-husbands.
When the police aren't moving fast enough to save the kidnapped victims, the heroine (a self-proclaimed 'Anti-Detective') teams up with a cop, and the two of them must face down 30+ villains, who have planned to silence all eyewitness before they can get to the hostages.
Like the prequel, this second book of the series still offers us the same 'grim and gritty' hard-boiled goodies and an edgy attitude: if you wanted to stay alive in this dark, ugly world controlled by stalkers, rapists and mobs, you better train yourself up to be as smart, cunning and ruthless as the villains themselves--and it is exactly what the heroine had trained herself to be after the tragic death of her sister.
Don't get me wrong, the heroine is no Wonder Woman, in this book she got beat up, outnumbered, stripped and humiliated for various times, but she just refuses to give up. Therefore, it really is satisfying when we see this young woman hitting back just as hard (okay, if she didn't fight back, she would have been long dead): stabbing a rapist with his own knife, swinging a baseball bat at a wife abuser, hitting an immoral shady private investigator's head repeatedly against a car's door. Damn, I couldn't help but cheer her on!
Plus, what I really like about this series is how the novelists Mr. Matsuoka putting in believable details to make me believe in the heroine as a resourceful survivor, her many capability (e.g. her hard-earned combat skill, her wide knowledge on chemistry and how to fix up a tiny flamethrower in critical time, etc) and the gloomy, unpleasant world his characters live in(from time to time I just have to wonder how come some people can be so twisted, cunning, evil and uncaring of the lives of the others).
I also really love the ending, at the end , at least this story ends with a bittersweet note with the heroine reunites with her injured younger female assistant (I really like the sisterhood and/or hints of same-sex affection between them) and the heroine showing tenderness to the orphaned little girl.
