What
can happen when a young bank employee absconds with the notebook containing
all the secret account information of corporate clients using dummy accounts
to avoid paying taxes? A lot. Especially when his friends unwisely drag a high-powered
loanshark into the scheme in order to convince the bank not to press charges.
"Saimu" is a good story, with the improbable murder methods and coverups
common to Matsumoto's detective novels.
