華文(中国語)ミステリーの到達点を示す記念碑的傑作が、ついに日本上陸! 現在(2013年)から1967年へ、1人の名刑事の警察人生を遡りながら、香港社会の変化(アイデンティティ、生活・風景、警察=権力)をたどる逆年代記(リバース・クロノロジー)形式の本格ミステリー。どの作品も結末に意外性があり、犯人との論戦やアクションもスピーディで迫力満点。 本格ミステリーとしても傑作だが、雨傘革命(14年)を経た今、67年の左派勢力(中国側)による反英暴動から中国返還など、香港社会の節目ごとに物語を配する構成により、市民と権力のあいだで揺れ動く香港警察のアイデェンティティを問う社会派ミステリーとしても読み応え十分。 2015年の台北国際ブックフェア賞など複数の文学賞を受賞。世界12カ国から翻訳オファーを受け、各国で刊行中。映画化件はウォン・カーウァイが取得した。著...(展开全部)
