The Haiku Killer

In the rain-slicked streets of the fictional Japanese city of Sakuragi, a serial killer is recreating notorious murder scenes from classic Japanese literature. Each victim is a pillar of society, a so-called moral compass. But as Detective Koichi Yamane digs deeper, he discovers the victims are linked by a single, chilling thread: their public displays of moral superiority contributed to the destruction of lives they deemed beneath them. This is a dark, rapid-fire thriller in the style of Ross Greenwood, where the investigation becomes a brutal mirror, asking what happens to our most cherished principles when survival itself becomes the ultimate crime.
