処刑の方程式 (集英社文庫)
The Mermaids Singing follows psychological profiler Tony Hill and detective Carol Jordan as they pursue a brutal serial killer. Its violence is disturbing, but the novel is driven just as strongly by professional ethics, fragile trust, and the pressure of entering a murderer’s mind.
Work Information
The more the investigators decode the killer’s logic, the closer they come to the darkness themselves.
This opening Tony Hill and Carol Jordan novel brings the two together in a case of escalating, grotesque murders. The investigation moves beyond evidence into the architecture of desire and fear. It works both as a sharp crime thriller and as a study of damaged people trying to trust one another.
Review Summaries
-
Readers often respond to it as a dark, tightly wound crime novel. Some keep their distance from the brutality, while others value the investigative characterization and the density of the psychological contest.

メッセージ有難うございます。
状態の説明通りの綺麗さで満足です。ただ私のうっかりですが、おそらく出版社が上下巻に別けなかったからでしょう、文字が極小でした 笑笑。
