華文ミステリーの到達点を示す傑作!巨匠ウォン・カーウァイ監督のもとで映像化進行中。1989年、新人刑事のローは凶悪犯罪捜査係に配属され、多くの犠牲者を出した九龍の銃撃戦の意外な黒幕を知ることになる――。60年代に文化大革命の煽りで始まった反英暴動、2010年代に起きた雨傘革命とも呼ばれる市民運動。香港を象徴する二つの“反政府の時代”が時空を越えて繋がる壮大な社会派ミステリー。横山秀夫氏も絶賛!ヤワなミステリーは道をあけよ!本書は、時代が織りなす警察の信と疑を車窓に映しつつ、ロジックのハンドルさばきも鮮やかに、香港現代史の発火点をタイムトラベルしてみせる無双の緊急捜査車両である。解説・佳多山大地※この電子書籍は2017年9月に文藝春秋より刊行された単行本の文庫版を底本としています。
