This series plunges you into the dark underbelly of the Japanese police force, where the brilliant but uncompromising Detective Reiko Himekawa confronts brutal crimes. Each case uncovers complex human motivations and dangerous secrets hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly serene society. Follow her relentless pursuit of truth as she battles her own demons and cunning adversaries. Immerse yourself in gripping investigations that test not only her instincts but also her moral compass.
When a gruesomely slaughtered body wrapped in plastic is discovered, Reiko Himekawa soon uncovers eleven other murders with a similar 'signature' and a reference to something called 'strawberry night,' a group that recruits victims and murderers on the internet. To solve the case, Reiko is forced to reach back into her own troubled past.
