Story
As a member of a New York Mafia family, Levi Yoder's role is unique: He's a fixer, a solver of problems, a man whose code puts loyalty above all else, yet he's a man with a conscience. In the Inside Man, Levi's search for the kidnapped grandchild of a Japanese mob boss plunges him into a world filled with chaos. When he's falsely accused of a heinous series of crimes, the FBI makes Levi an offer he can't refuse: use his mob connections to help investigate the murders of several undercover agents or find himself in jail awaiting trial, without a way to clear his name.

名だたる作家たちが魅了された「怪異小説」の傑作
中国や日本の古典文学を背景に、妖美で幻想的ながらも、現実と思わせるほど人間の愛憎を芸術性豊かに描いた『雨月物語』は、べネツィア映画祭で銀獅子賞を受賞した溝口健二監督による映画、水木しげる氏による漫画などに派生し、後世に大きな影響を与えている――
日本の本格怪異小説といえばこれ!
・崇徳院の菩提を弔うために白峯の御陵を訪ねた西行法師の前に現れたその人は…(白峯)。
・義兄弟の契りを結んだ二人の男の再会は、思わぬ形で果たされることに…(菊花の約)。
・戦乱の最中、家の再興のために旅立って、7年もの間、家を空けた男が故郷に帰って見たものは…(浅茅が宿)。
・男が出会った絶世の美女・真女児の正体は蛇であった…(蛇性の婬)
など、珠玉の全九編。いずれも和漢の作品を典拠とした一種の怪談ではありますが、仏教的因果関係の思想や儒教的勧善懲悪の倫理観を越えて、封建社会のなかでは求めがたい純朴な人間像を、古い時代や超自然的な場を舞台にして鮮やかに描き出した傑作です。漢の古語を自由に駆使した独特の文体と鬼気迫る怪奇描写は、きっとあなたを虜にすることでしょう……Failed to add items
