This is a work by Iku Aso, many of whose works have been made into movies and dramas. It's a realistic suspense mystery depicting the extreme choices of men and women caught in the turmoil of fate and the nation. With a structure that intertwines the story of espionage as a national incident with a love story between a man and a woman, it's a book that makes you imagine that the aftertaste will vary from person to person. Also, this work is based on an actual unsolved case, which was also interesting. I think it's a "full-fledged espionage novel" that you'll want to read in the coming season. ◆Title: "Espionage" ◆Author: Iku Aso ◆Publisher: Gentosha Bunko - ISBN: 978-4-344-42394-6 ◆First edition with obi (the obi has scratches and folds.

What is the answer chosen by the men and women who have been tossed about in the espionage war between nations? A development that calls for mystery upon mystery, and a moving conclusion that tugs at your heartstrings. A masterpiece of realistic suspense mystery. Since it's an old book, there are minor scratches and stains. Please check the photos. There are no major scratches or stains, so I have marked it as "no noticeable scratches or stains." I don't think it will interfere with reading. It comes with an obi, but the obi has folds. #yon4's_used_books I plan to pack and ship it simply. Please understand.
