[Book] The Trajectory of Sin 1
[Book] The Trajectory of Sin 2

The best storyteller, Hideo Okuda,
A new novel after seven years
The pinnacle of social mystery that sharply delves into the human mind.

Hideo Okuda, the author who earned the title of "Japan's Best Storyteller" with bestsellers such as "Swing in the Sky" and "Jump South!", has returned with the full-length novel "Trails of Sin."
He has created a humorous satire with the Dr. Irabu series, including the Naoki Prize-winning "Swing in the Sky," and has sharply depicted the absurdity of society with the Bookstore Grand Prize-winning "Run South!" and the Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award-winning "Sheep Terrorist." Through this work, he shows the essence of a true social mystery.

"Traces of Sin" is a full-length novel published after seven years, depicting the process by which the culprit of an unprecedented kidnapping case commits the crime and the obsessive investigation of the detective who tracks him down.
The novel became an Amazon Japan bestseller immediately after its publication and received rave reviews from critics and readers, topping various mystery rankings in 2020.
Based on a true story, this story, born from meticulous preliminary research and three years of writing, delivers an incredibly intense sense of presence and immersion.
As you follow the author's elaborately crafted crime trajectory, you will find yourself pondering the root of sin.
