“Deeply disturbing yet utterly brilliant, this was my first time reading Mo Hayder but certainly will not be my last.
The story alternates between 1937 Nanking and present day Tokyo. A young girl named Grey goes to Tokyo to look for answers to a question that has been haunting her for most of her life. Once there, she meets a man who holds the answer to her question but he withholds the answer until Grey can obtain an item for him. What sounds like a simple plan turns into a horrifying experience for Grey and her friends. This is a complex story filled with unimaginable atrocities and unthinkable horror, exploring the difference between ignorance and evil. ”
