Shinchosha Publishing Co., Ltd. is releasing 'Torn Tomorrow' by Jo Sasaki today, May 28th (Thu), via Shinchosha Bunko. A man living on a pension after retirement might seem like a protagonist far removed from suspense. The protagonist of this book, Shinya Okimoto, is also a lonely man who has quit his contract job and lost his wife. An incident that breaks his ordinary daily life occurs when a woman with a young girl appears seeking help. The woman says, 'I am being chased by enemies.' After hearing their story, Shinya decides to escort them to a safe zone, despite having no weapons or special skills... In fact, Shinya had an unforgettable past with the woman's mother. From here, a dangerous escape begins. Why does Shinya risk his life to protect the mother and daughter, even abandoning his peaceful life? The destination reached after dodging checkpoints and slipping through information traps is shocking. The opening scene connects to the ending, and the past 'foreshadowing' is resolved in a brilliant conclusion. This is a masterpiece of suspense by the 76-year-old author who continues to write vigorously.
