When President Nomura, head of a small private university in southern Japan, is found in his office with his throat cut, the quiet provincial town of Fujikawa comes alive with conspiracy and secrets.
Why are official university documents missing from the crime scene?
And what is the meaning behind the Japanese doll left on Nomura’s desk by the killer?
Darkness and deceit begin to rise to the surface, shattering the everyday façade of peace and conformity.
Chief Inspector Inoue of the local police force soon learns that the victim had a number of enemies.
It’s not long before Inoue discovers that nearly everyone involved in the case is harbouring their own secrets and lies.
However, when a second university employee is murdered on campus in the dead of night, Inoue’s Commanding Officer – Superintendent Takenaka – takes over the case and makes a sudden arrest, eager for the high profile case to be closed as soon as possible.
But whilst everyone is convinced they have caught the murderer, Chief Inspector Inoue is certain that they have the wrong man.
Inoue faces his greatest challenge to date – risking professional ruin and disgrace in a race to find the killer.
But with everyone around him a potential suspect, who can he trust?
Can the small town of Fujikawa ever return to normal?
Or is it impossible to find perfect justice in an imperfect world?
‘Imperfect Strangers’ is a gripping murder mystery and an intriguing dissection of modern day Japan.
