【Content Introduction】
Suzuki Yoko is dead, found alone in her apartment. To be more precise, she died months ago. When her body was found, not only had it been eaten by the eleven cats who lived there, but the cats had also starved to death. Suzuki Yoko is clearly the epitome of a "lonely death," but how did this woman end up in this state? Where are her family, friends, and colleagues? What was the trajectory of her life?

The book exposes often-overlooked social issues in a profound and thought-provoking manner, depicting the shifts in the characters' minds with exquisite precision and insight. Through Yoko's bizarre experiences, it weaves together a microcosm of Japan's social transformation over the past forty years, making it a representative and outstanding mystery novel in recent Japanese history.
