Never has a novel been more misleadingly packaged! I was very dismayed (actually embarrassed) by the look of this book, and reluctant to begin reading it. The back cover says, KIDNAP RANSOM MURDER in an ominous stacked list, and the central black strip on the front with the title and author's name is removable, as if hiding something terrible between those sultry eyes. The whole thing looks like a cheap thriller about violence to women. Thankfully, it turns out to be a highly interesting police procedural without a hint of gore.Now, that said, I CAN see why Quercus decided it needed to liven up Six Four a bit. This is 600 pages or so of detailed police work. All the characters' names seem to start with A or T (with some M's thrown in for variety), so unless you are very familiar with Japanese names, you have to read carefully. (I finally made a cast of characters about halfway through, which helped a lot. Reminded me of all those nicknames in Russian novels, which can be so confusing for the non-Russian reader.)If you are accustomed to hard-boiled or cynical American and British police procedurals, you will be surprised and fascinated by Six Four. The traditions, attitudes, and methods of work are wildly different. I was intrigued. There is an absence of cynicism which is kind of incredible. Oh, you still have disenchanted cops and ridiculous protocols and needless paperwork, but it's all done from a position of earnestness that is unlike anything you will read (or at least that I have read!) in western literature. Japan is a foreign country; they do things differently there.This is a novel that demands full attention -- you can't be reading a chapter at bedtime along with one or two other books and expect to retain the plot details -- yet is exhausting in large doses. But I mean that in a good way; it is meticulous, and there is a real mystery to be solved, along with side mysteries that do not get resolved, or at least not in the way we may be used to. I felt as though I were getting an honest and unsentimental look at the way the police really might operate, and I thought that was invaluable.I would recommend this book to hardcore mystery, thriller, and police procedural fans who don't mind getting in and digging deep. Six Four will not be rushed, and it will not enthrall you with knives at the throat or trusted lovers and friends who turn out to be master criminals. All the better, in my opinion.

Hideo Yokoyama obviously put his heart and soul into this book. In terms of realism, I honestly felt like Mikami, a former detective turned Press Director type for the police, was about as layered and as specific as you can get in a fiction novel. I felt like I knew him very well by the end of the book. And in terms of investigation procedures, the police and media relations, and local police forces dealing with the larger spectre of Tokyo's bigger authoritative individuals constantly threatening to take over at any minute, you simply will not find a better book about police handling cases in Japan. I mean, it's overwhelming, and that's not because of the 600 plus page count. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of research that Hideo put into writing this epic story, and for this reason, I have no choice as an author myself but to truly bow down in awe of this author's meticulous and astutely detailed Japanese police procedural.But there are some pretty big issues with this book that made me go from thinking it might be the greatest book I've ever read to just an okay book that could've been so, so much more. I'll try to talk about these issues without spoiling anything. And don't worry, I won't say a word about the ending, in terms of who or what or how or why.For starters, the book's ending just wasn't enough of a payoff for me to have invested so much time reading over 600 pages of story. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure you'll never see it coming (I certainly didn't), and in terms of what happens, the twist is genius and definitely exciting once it finally comes out, but the entire time I was reading the story, I kept asking myself if I was reading more about daily life working as a police officer in Japan, or if I was reading a mystery story about an old kidnapping and murder case that suddenly had meaning and bearing to the present time that the book was written. So, in other words, if I took all the pages the actual six four kidnapping story and murder was being discussed, it would amount to maybe 100 pages? Maybe less? The other 500 plus pages are dealing with the internal politics of many police officers who were surrounding the case and what it was doing to them and for them. It just didn't have the creepy, murder mystery vibe that I enjoy with murder mystery novels. It felt more like I was reading tv scripts for episodes of the Japanese version of Law and Order, or something like that. I mean, for a huge majority of the beginning part of the book, six four is pushed way to the very back and there is a gigantic back and forth about police covering up doing bad things in favor of anonymous reporting, which truly (and to some degree, justifiably so) upsets reporters who deal with the police on a daily basis.Yet here's the catch about what I just wrote: the ending doesn't work without all of the internal politics being discussed at length. It just wouldn't have any impact at all, or even matter, if the large cast of characters and their motives and actions weren't discussed at length in preparation for what was the last few pages of the book. I noticed that the story was woven extremely tightly together, and as I wondered if I was an editor and could cut stuff from the story, what would I cut? The answer is nothing. Every word is in its right place, weird as that may sound. The problem though was the meat and fun stuff that I like to read about when it comes to kidnappings and murder mysteries wasn't enough there to satisfy my hunger.Another problem was that the ending was.... well, lets just say rather underwhelming. I wanted to be swept away by emotional tides when the ending came to this book, but I didn't feel really anything too intense. I literally said out loud when I was done reading, "That's it?" I mean, that's never a good thing to say when you're done with a 600 plus page novel, you know? The biggest issue I had wasn't really so much what I just wrote but the fact that Mikami's own daughter, Ayumi, is missing (this is right at the beginning of the story, so no spoiler there), and the entire book just seems to toss this aside. As a father of a daughter, it would be my absolute worst nightmare if she left the house one day and never came back. I couldn't go to work anymore, or stay at home. I would be out there hunting for her. And that's where I have the biggest problem here: Mikami is a veteran detective, yet he throws himself into his job more than about worrying to find his daughter. You would think after working the six four kidnapping case many years ago that he would be truly haunted and terrified of the same thing possibly happening to his own child, but it's like Mikami doesn't seem to think much about Ayumi until it's convenient to advance the plot or to end a chapter with an ominous thought about Ayumi. I mean, this girl is Mikami's only child too. Why wouldn't he be using his detective pedigree to be out there chasing after her every single day? I know it mentions that he certainly did try to do this, but to me, it's not enough. And still... and still, this wouldn't even be so bad if the book had given us a heaven or hell resolution to Ayumi's story. Instead all I got was.....limbo?I would recommend reading this book if you have nothing else to read and want a great book that showcases Japanese police and what it's like to be a Japanese police officer. I'm assuming it's based a lot on truth and Hideo's own experiences with police in Japan. However, if you are looking for a story that resolves anything it starts, has huge consequences for its characters that justify the long narrative page count, and inserts just enough fantasy into the reality of the story to make it truly a work of fiction instead of a huge attempt at writing a non-fiction documentary, this isn't that book. Still a good read, and an impressive look into the Japanese psyche and mindset as well as the workplace in Japan and also police in Japan and their lack of apparent humanity or true empathy for not one but two families who are or have been suffering from a horrible crime.

Well, I thought is was "ripping" until the climax. The writing, of course from a Japanese viewpoint, heavy on Japanese culture, history, attitude, politics, etc. was very very rewarding reading. The internal politics of the polices forces and press was extremely well done and gripping reading. Real sense of stress and tension, palpable! HOWEVER, the climax ending totally ruined it for me. Perhaps a Japanese writing style, but the climax was "explained" after the fact by pages and pages and pages of plot exposition that had not been brought out via the story! The climax would have been incomprehensible without all the follow up "reveals", but I'm used to writing that at least foreshadows the climax by planting facts and clues throughout the story. It was like reading an appendix to figure out why the story had ended the way it did.

Pulls you into lives and a multilayered story with an ending that makes total sense but one you ever see coming!

It's difficult to review this one. There are some awkward uses of English probably because of translation, but otherwise it is written well. On one hand it provides a fascinating look into the Japanese rigidity of relationships, position and power, but on the other hand, my American perspective often made me think - what's the big deal with what Mikami is doing? I found the underlying story about his daughter interesting, but it gets lost through much of the book. The relationships between Mikami and his wife, co-workers, and others seem so strained and distant, that it is hard to relate to. But - it is a good book for all of those reasons. Just have some patience.
