Amber Summer

«Amber Summer» — a disturbing social thriller by Japanese author Mizuki Tsujimura, who wrote the bestseller «The Lonely Castle in the Mirror», a winner of the Japan Booksellers’ Award.

There has been a murder at a summer camp. Police have discovered children's remains on the territory of the once-popular organization «School of the Future». Judging by their condition, the child died and was buried about thirty years ago. An elderly couple approaches lawyer Noriko Kondo to find out if the body belongs to their granddaughter, whose mother ran away from home and settled in the territory of the «School» against their pleas.

However, no one knows that Noriko was at that camp thirty years ago. It turns out she might know the victim… or the murderer. Determined to uncover what actually happened that fateful summer, Noriko takes on the case. However, the truth turns out to be scarier than any, even the boldest, guesses.
