Description:

A powerful and gripping thriller that spans three cities—New York, Tokyo, and Singapore—this novel delves into the life of Tetsuyo Akinicho, a wealthy Japanese mogul specializing in DNA technology. Tetsuyo, a man of impeccable reputation within the high society of New York, suddenly finds himself caught in a dangerous game of blackmail that threatens to shatter everything he has worked for.

Haunted by a long-buried family secret, Tetsuyo's life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a chilling email: "Your mother is not resting in peace. You should be ashamed of your ancestors. Do people know where you have come from?" These words plunge Tetsuyo and his lawyer, Akira Tanaka, into a whirlwind of damage control maneuvers. They enlist the help of Paul Griffin, a well-known American private investigator, and Mayumi Onodera, a Japanese historian. Together, they uncover one shocking revelation after another, as they unravel the mystery surrounding Tetsuyo's origins.

As the investigation deepens, Tetsuyo is drawn back to a painful voyage of discovery about his roots, as well as the tragic and mysterious circumstances surrounding the woman who gave him life—his biological mother. In the process, he comes to a devastating realization: no one, not even a powerful multi-millionaire at the top of his field in advanced DNA technology, can escape the past.

The ghosts of the Second World War rise to confront him, embodied in the form of a faceless blackmailer, forcing Tetsuyo to return to the place where it all began—a Japanese cemetery in Singapore. There, a small, nondescript headstone holds the key to the painful truth of his family's history, and to the legacy of a tragedy that has haunted him for years.

This thriller is a riveting tale of uncovering secrets, facing the past, and discovering the true cost of one's identity. As Tetsuyo confronts the ghosts of his ancestors and the shadow of his family’s past, he is forced to reckon with the inescapable truth that no amount of power or wealth can shield him from the haunting grip of history.
