Book Synopsis



UNO DE LOS 100 MEJORES LIBROS DE MISTERIO Y SUSPENSO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS DE LA REVISTA TIME - Ganador del Gran Premio de Japón de Novela Negra - Finalista del Premio Edgar

La reina japonesa del crimen.


El lado oscuro de Japón te dejará sin aliento.


Masako, Kuniko, Yoshie y Yayoi trabajan en el turno nocturno de una fábrica de comida preparada de los suburbios de Tokio. Todas tienen graves problemas tanto de dinero como familiares (maridos infieles, suegras discapacitadas o hijos imposibles) y se desenvuelven en una atmósfera hostil e inhóspita. Una noche, Yayoi estrangula a su marido, Kenji, cansada de sus continuas agresiones físicas. Masako, Kuniko y Yoshie la ayudarán a deshacerse del cuerpo. La policía recela de ellas, pero no dispone de pruebas que las incriminen. En cambio, en su lista de sospechosos se halla Satake, el dueño de un casino y un bar de alterne que Kenji frecuentaba. Mientras tanto, un prestamista vinculado a los yakuza las descubre y chantajea a las mujeres para que se ocupen de otros cadáveres.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME - Winner of Japan's Grand Prix for Crime Fiction - Edgar Award Finalist


This mesmerizing novel tells the story of a brutal murder in the staid Tokyo suburbs, as a young mother who works the night shift making boxed lunches strangles her abusive husband and then seeks the help of her coworkers to dispose of the body and cover up her crime. The coolly intelligent Masako emerges as the plot's ringleader, but quickly discovers that this killing is merely the beginning, as it leads to a terrifying foray into the violent underbelly of Japanese society.

At once a masterpiece of literary suspense and pitch-black comedy of gender warfare, Out is also a moving evocation of the pressures and prejudices that drive women to extreme deeds, and the friendships that bolster them in the aftermath.
