The rope artist / Fuminori Nakamura ; translated from the Japanese by Sam Bett. by Nakamura, Fuminori, 1977- author. New York, NY : Soho Crime, [2023] Subjects Serial murderers -- Fiction.   Sexual fantasies -- Japan -- Fiction.   Identity (Psychology) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781641293259 (hardcover) 164129325X (hardcover) Description:  281 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Two detectives. Two identical women. One dead body-rapidly becoming two, then three, then four. All knotted up in Japan's underground BDSM scene and kinbaku, a form of rope bondage which bears a complex cultural history of spirituality, torture, cleansing, and sacrifice. As Togashi, a junior member of the police force, investigates the murder of a kinbaku instructor, he finds himself unable to resist his own private transgressive desires. In contrast, Togashi's colleague Hayama is morally upright to a fault, with a stalwart commitment to the truth. A Sherlock Holmesian detective with nearly superhuman powers of deduction, Hayama notices a dangerous measure of darkness within Togashi and embarks on his own parallel investigation, which soon spirals out of control. Unflinching in its flayed-raw treatment of identity, violence, sexuality, power, the occult, and the divine, Fuminori Nakamura's explosive, complex new mystery is both viscerally painful and unexpectedly hopeful-plus, intriguingly pulpy. As is the case with all Nakamura's work, The Rope Artist has a twisted, tangled plot, and functions as a profoundly philosophical treatise on the most tantalizing, most dangerous elements of the human psyche"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Nakamura Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList
