About the author

Hideo Yokoyama (横山 秀夫) worked as an investigative reporter with a regional newspaper north of Tokyo for 12 years before striking out on his own as a fiction writer. He made his literary debut in 1998 when his collection of police stories Kage no kisetsu (Season of Shadows) won the Matsumoto Seicho Prize; the volume was also short-listed for the Naoki Prize. In 2000 his story Doki (Motive) was awarded the Mystery Writers of Japan Award for Short Stories. His 2002 novel Han'ochi (Half Solved) earned a Konomys No. 1 and gained him a place among Japan's best-selling authors. He repeated his Konomys No. 1 ranking in 2013 with 64 Rokuyon (64), his first novel in seven years. Other prominent works include his 2003 Kuraimazu hai (Climber's High), centering on the crash of JAL Flight 123 that he covered as a reporter in 1985; the World War II novel Deguchi no nai umi (Seas with No Exit, 2004); the police novel Shindo zero (Seismic Intensity Zero, 2005); and the story collection Rinjo (Initial Investigation, 2004).

素描人像雖畫得出真相，卻容易被語言所操控。
主角因憧憬而成為女警，但因某些事弄得有些迷失，每個案件都為主角帶來逆爭上游的動力，如同最後書中所提的「宛如幼香魚般的女警平野瑞穗，祝福妳前程萬里！」在兩性並非平等的工作環境中，努力成長活出自信吧！

冲着“平成的松本清张”这个推荐词，第一次拜读了横山的作品。喜欢这种社会派推理，尤其是一些以较鲜为人知的领域为主题的小说。 这本书是五篇短篇的合辑，大可分开来读，掩卷之后另有一番体会。整本书以擅長制作嫌疑犯肖像画的女警-瑞穗为故事主轴，推理为次，描写警界的黑幕运作，阶级和性别歧视为主。喜欢这种写实的脉络，少了英雄主义的渲染，着墨在职场现象，人与人之间的交流互动，让人读来心有戚戚。
