Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama: opinion.

I think this is a classic Japanese crime novel which may seem too long and sometimes the plot may seem to be getting nowhere but the end is worth all the effort. The story is very cleverly written and engages the reader. However, I found that there was too much of the plot devoted to explaining and depicting police station politics and the complicated relationship they had with the press. For some readers, though this part may be very interesting.
