Synopsis
A tense, powerful thriller from the bestselling author of Six Four
1985. Kazumasa Yuuki, a seasoned reporter at the North Kanto Times, runs a daily gauntlet of the power struggles and office politics that plague its newsroom. But when an air disaster of unprecedented scale occurs on the paper’s doorstep, its staff is united by an unimaginable horror and a once-in-a-lifetime scoop.
2003. Seventeen years later, Yuuki remembers the adrenaline-fueled, emotionally charged seven days that changed his and his colleagues’ lives. He does so while making good on a promise he made that fateful week―one that holds the key to its last solved mystery and represents Yuuki’s final, unconquered fear.
From Hideo Yokoyama, the celebrated author of Six Four, comes Seventeen―an investigative thriller set amid the aftermath of disaster.

About the Author
Born in 1957, Hideo Yokoyama worked for twelve years as an investigative reporter with a regional newspaper north of Tokyo before becoming one of Japan’s most acclaimed and bestselling fiction writers. Seventeen is his second novel to be translated into English.
Louise Heal Kawai comes from Manchester in the UK, but Japan has been her home since 1990. Her translations include Mieko Kawakami's Ms Ice Sandwich, A Quiet Place by Seicho Matsumoto, and Seishi Yokomizo's The Honjin Murders, a Detective Kindaichi mystery.

“Seventeen is a thrilling, thought-provoking, and important book, and one for anyone who cares about the state of journalism.” ―Hans Rollmann, PopMatters
“More than your standard thriller . . . A meditative and multilayered narrative that is as much about a man at a mid-life crossroads as it is about journalism or a plane crash.” ―Tara Cheesman, Los Angeles Review of Books

"A darkly humorous tale." ―Booklist
