Description
Award-winning author Keigo Higashino presents a modern mystery in The Name of the Game is a Kidnapping, where a once-powerful man is broken, and upon finding an opportunity, engages in a big and potentially dangerous game in the name of revenge.
The Wages of Cynicism
A battle-tested project leader at PR firm Cyberplan and a slippery bachelor, Sakuma is smug self-regard personified. However, when his idea for a mini-theme park is dismissed as vacuous by client Nissei Auto, he's finally met his match—Katsuragi, an heir and executive at the global carmaker who believes life is but a game.
Once the man's daughter teams up with Sakuma in a bid to come into her inheritance sooner rather than later, it's time for a good ol' kidnapping!
