震度０

by Hideo Yokoyama, 橫山秀夫, 緋華璃 (Translator)

明明是震度0級的無感地震，
但對他們而言，卻彷彿天崩地裂！

有人不見了！
這只是單純的失蹤？還是複雜的犯罪？
他們表面上鎮定，內心卻波濤洶湧，
有的坐立難安，有的機關用盡，
有的冷眼旁觀，有的則在心裡暗自竊喜……

N縣警本部的高層幹部恐怕作夢也想不到，就在同一天的同一個時刻，他們竟然經歷了兩次大地震！其中，比起發生在七百公里外、震驚全日本的阪神世紀大地震，領導三千人的首席課長不破義仁突然失蹤，更令以本部長為首的六大高層感到驚慌失措。備受長官信任、握有許多重要內幕的不破義仁為什麼會突然人間蒸發？莫非他被捲入了什麼案件？為了自保，他們必須在最保密的情況下，在最短時間內查出不破的下落，但是同時，眾人彼此之間卻又各懷鬼胎……

橫山秀夫在這個他最擅長的警察題材中，以更精練的筆調、更富戲劇張力的情節，在推理的皮肉下，寫出了人性中狡詐、自私與脆弱、無助的一面，深深打動人心！「警察小說」至此不但進化到了全新境界，更堪稱是推理小說文學化的最高傑作！

一名警察失蹤，掀起一場撼動警察高層的無感地震。

看多推理小說，《震感0》的結局也不教人有多意外，追索過程的鬥爭傾軋才是精彩。最讓我動容的是堀川老婆幡然變臉的一番吶喊，是啊，我們最容易看到的都是別人的錯，心盲到一種程度，甚至在別人身上，投射出自己的錯。與自己質地相似的人總是莫名討厭。
