- Book Synopsis
- Two prostitutes are murdered in Tokyo. Twenty years previously both women were educated at the same elite school for young ladies, and had seemingly promising futures ahead of them. But in a world of dark desire and vicious ambition, for both women, prostitution meant power. Grotesque is a masterful and haunting thriller, a chilling exploration of women's secret lives in modern day Japan.
- About The Author

Her novels available in English are Out, Grotesque, Real World, In, The Goddess Chronicle and Swallows.
