Yasashii Anata...
1950s jazz standard "Mona Lisa" is the leitmotif for this crime thriller about two yakuza middlemen who fall madly in love with each other's *respectable* personnae, and can't let the delusion or deception drop even when they catch each other in the middle of an unwitting double-cross. The stakes are high and the reader is kept on the edge of her seat while these two men try to find a path through incredible opposition and peril back to each other.
Fetish (hino Garasu)
