In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat - and then for his wife as well - in a netherworld beneath the city's placid surface. As these seaches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffesed with comedy and menace, this is an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrated marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.
