慕名而借的書。看完後……嗯嗯！連電影也打消念頭不用看啦！

資深檢察官最上在學生時代住過的民宅宿舍，房東夫婦的女兒某天遭人扼斃死於家中，從身上傷痕推論生前曾遭遇性侵。最大嫌疑人松倉卻因證據不足，最後無罪開釋，這樁命案也成了懸案。直到23年後，一對老夫婦在家中被人刺死，幾位嫌疑犯中赫然發現松倉也在其中。被最上指派擔任訊問的年輕檢察官沖野，雖然極力配合最上的指示，即使松倉坦承犯下已過時效的少女姦殺案，即使後來兇刀以離奇的方法出現，卻仍無法說服自己松倉就是殺死老夫婦的兇手。懷著執行正義的信念，辭掉檢察官工作後的沖野，發現最上努力要置松倉入罪的原因其實是要懲罰在法律保護下卻永遠可逍遙法外的兇手。以犯法來遏止犯法的最上，最終賠上了他的人生，卻仍無法伸張他所解釋的正義。

故事提出的問題是，超過了「追訴期」的犯行，就可以一筆勾銷了嗎？檢察官窮凶惡極、積極入罪的行徑，是符合追求正義的原則嗎？

可惜當如此中心主旨綿延成500頁巨作時，就暴露了單薄情節的合理性，例如，最上羅織罪證，又買槍殺人埋屍，只為了要替學生時代租屋房東女兒報仇？雖然作者安排了「同期好友從政，卻為了保全岳父不被醜聞纏身而自殺」，作為最上之後更進一步的執行「替天行道」的契機，但用在說服故事發展的合情合理，似乎還是不太夠的。

總之，最上為「可愛房東女兒慘死而耿耿於懷了20多年，且一定要用極端手法復仇才行」的立論點，真的不太容易可以讓我乖乖地跟著走到作者企圖要彰顯的正義大旗下，還能仰頭看著說，好耶！

I finished it
I cried for it
But I dont think it made much sense for one to go that far for an almost stranger
But I get it
Its interesting? Just not that believable
