{"product_id":"inspector-imanishi-investigates","title":"Inspector Imanishi Investigates","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the wee hours of a 1960s Tokyo morning, a dead body is found under the rails of a train, and the victim's face is so badly damaged that police have a hard time figuring out the victim's identity. Only two clues surface: an old man, overheard talking in a distinctive accent to a young man, and the word \"kameda.\" Inspector Imanishi leaves his beloved bonsai and his haiku and goes off to investigate--and runs up against a blank wall. Months pass in fruitless questioning, in following up leads, until the case is closed, unsolved.  But Imanishi is dissatisfied, and a series of coincidences lead him back to the case. Why did a young woman scatter pieces of white paper out of the window of a train? Why did a bar girl leave for home right after Imanishi spoke to her? Why did an actor, on the verge of telling Imanishi something important, drop dead of a heart attack? What can a group of nouveau young artists possibly have to do with the murder of a quiet and \"saintly\" provincial old ex-policemen? Inspector Imanishi investigates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Seicho Matsumoto\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: New edition\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 348\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Soho Press Inc\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 01 Jul 2003\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":32771843457105,"sku":"PL856.A8","price":38.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":32771843489873,"sku":"PL856.A8","price":30.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39423504285777,"sku":"PL856.A8","price":27.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":32771843522641,"sku":"PL856.A8","price":24.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/9781569470190.jpg?v=1717801079","url":"https:\/\/thryft.my\/products\/inspector-imanishi-investigates","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
