Product Description

Product Description

In the Tokyo suburbs, four women work the draining graveyard shift at a boxed-lunch factory. Burdened with chores and heavy debts and isolated from husbands and children, they all secretly dream of a way out of their dead-end lives. A young mother among them finally cracks and strangles her philandering, gambling husband then confesses her crime to Masako, the closest of her colleagues. For reasons of her own, Masako agrees to assist her friend and seeks the help of the other co-workers to dismember and dispose of the body. The body parts are discovered, the police start asking questions, but the women have far more dangerous enemies - a yakuza connected loan shark who discovers their secret and has a business proposition, and a ruthless nightclub owner the police are convinced is guilty of the murder. He has lost everything as a result of their crime and he is out for revenge. "Out" is a psychologically taut and unflinching foray into the darkest recesses of the human soul, an unsettling reminder that the desperate desire for freedom can make the most ordinary person do the unimaginable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book, impossible to put down., 29 Dec 2006
By L. Bravetti (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many suspense / thrillers from a wide variety of authors but I have to say that this book is among the best. The story and characters are really well thought out, leaving the ending impossible to guess. It was very interesting reading about life in Japan and the translation into English is excellent. I cannot wait to read her next book.
