The Plot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Umiko Wada has recently had quite enough excitement in her life. With her husband recently murdered and a mother who seems to want her married again before his body is cold, she just wants to keep her head down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a secretary to a private detective, her life is pleasingly uncomplicated, filled with coffee runs, diary management and paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, until her boss takes on a new case. A case which turns out to be dangerous enough to get him killed. A case which means Wada will have to leave Japan for the first time and travel to London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the only lead she has, Wada quickly realises that being a detective isn\u2019t as easy as the television makes out. And that there\u2019s a reason why secrets stay buried for a long time. Because people want them to stay secret. And they\u2019re prepared to do very bad things to keep them that way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
