The Silent Dead by Tetsuya HondaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book started on a very promising note for me. I enjoyed a large part of the book but the effect diminished at the climax.
Reiko Himekaway is a young, female Lieutant in the police force who delas with the gender bias regularly. Her reasons for becoming a lieutant have a background which is also an essential sub plot in the book. But the primary plot of the book deals with a serial killer who is torturing people and disposing bodies in lakes. Reiko and Stubby(another lieutant's) diverse styles in trying to nab the killer is interesting. The way he admonishes Reiko for her intuitions because she seem to stop applying logic after her bout of intuition is one of the best conversations in the book.
