Uniform title:  Sono saki no michi ni kieru. English Description:  281 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "A novel"--Cover. "Originally published as SONOSAKI NO MICHI NI KIERU Copyright Fuminori Nakamura 2018."--T.p verso. "The novel was first serialized in Shosetsu TRIPPER (Asahi Publications Inc.) in 2015 Summer, 2015 Winter, 2016 Summer, 2016 Winter, and 2017 Summer through 2018 Fall."--T.p. verso. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 277-278). Summary:  "Two detectives. Two identical women. One dead body -- rapidly becoming two, then three, then four. All knotted up in Japan's underground BDSM scene and kinbaku, a form of rope bondage which bears a complex cultural history of spirituality, torture, cleansing, and sacrifice. As Togashi, a junior member of the police force, investigates the murder of a kinbaku instructor, he finds himself unable to resist his own private transgressive desires. In contrast, Togashi's colleague Hayama is morally upright to a fault, with a stalwart commitment to the truth. A Sherlock Holmesian detective with nearly superhuman powers of deduction, Hayama notices a dangerous measure of darkness within Togashi and embarks on his own parallel investigation, which soon spirals out of control. Unflinching in its flayed-raw treatment of identity, violence, sexuality, power, the occult, and the divine, Fuminori Nakamura's explosive, complex new mystery is both viscerally painful and unexpectedly hopeful -- plus, intriguingly pulpy. As is the case with all Nakamura's work, The Rope Artist has a twisted, tangled plot, and functions as a profoundly philosophical treatise on the most tantalizing, most dangerous elements of the human psyche"--Provided by publisher.
