He is a completely unremarkable man.
Who wears the same black suit every day.
Boards the same train to work each morning.

But he has a secret.
He likes to kill people.

Exiled detective Kosuke Iwata is asked back to the neon-drenched streets of Tokyo.

An English exchange student has been murdered, the Olympics are just days away and those high up want this case closed fast.
