Hikimori: Snail Mask

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
"If you're going to walk the roads of this town, you'll have to kill the snails." In a seaside town whose air has turned red, severed arms wash up against the God Rocks. Detective Sanjuro, wearing the Hannya mask handed down from his ancestors, walks among the dead with a shadow that has followed him for years.

HİKİMORİ – SALYANGOZ MASKESİ (The Snail Mask) pulls five detectives into five strange case files: Takeda, summoned from his never-ending mirrored pyramid house into the middle of a yakuza war; Medea, back after many years in the winding streets of Tbilisi, tracking a missing hostel manager; Asami, whose rage grows along with a transplanted male arm, and a lotus-covered swamp town that sinks a little more each day; and Sakurai, who in quarantine becomes someone else in his dreams every night while trying to solve the mystery of hundreds of empty coffins drifting down a river.

The suspects point at one another, every witness tells a different story, and every clue drags you a little deeper, like a swamp. The question is not only who the killer is, but where the detectives truly stand in these stories.

The third book of the Hannya series: five dark crime stories that bloom in the swamp like a lotus.
