The Master Key - Pushkin Vertigo

The prize-winning debut mystery from one of Japan's best-loved crime writersThe K Apartments for Ladies are occupied by over one hundred unmarried women, once young and lively, now grown and old-and in some cases, evil.Their residence conceals a secret connecting the unsolved 1951 kidnapping of four-year-old George Kraft to the clandestine burial of a child's body in the basement bath-house. So, when news comes that the building must be moved to make way for a road-building project, more than one tenant waits with apprehension for the grisly revelation that will follow. Then the master key is lost, stolen and re-stolen-and suddenly no-one feels safe.Fiendish intrigue, double identity and an ingenious plot make this a thriller worthy of comparison with the work of P.D. James.
