THE UNFORGETTABLE MILLION-COPY JAPANESE BESTSELLER BY THE AUTHOR OF LONELY CASTLE IN THE MIRROR

Brimming with suspense and heartbreak, the million-copy Japanese fantasy mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD and LONELY CASTLE IN THE MIRROR

Is there anyone you wish to see?

So asks the smart young man, Ayumi, to his clients who have come to him for a reunion with the person who once changed their life.

But it is no ordinary reunion. The people they ask to see have passed away.

Calling himself the go-between, Ayumi lays down strict rules around the meetings between the living and the dead: the deceased cannot have been summoned by anyone else; they may refuse; and they must meet under a full moon.

- Anxious Hirase asks to see the celebrity who showed her kindness at a critical moment;
- An arrogant family man wants clarity about a will from his beloved mother;
- After a bike accident, a school girl has a question for her former best friend;
- A salary man wants to ask the only woman he ever loved what caused her to run away.

With each reunion, tantalizing clues are scattered for listeners to piece together the emotional truth behind the go-between in this mesmeric tale of kindness, compassion and connection.
