Adored by readers, the million-copy Japanese magical realist mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLDIf you could meet any dead person of your choosing for one night, who would it be?When Hirase, a young woman from Tokyo arranges an appointment with The Go-Between, she doesn't expect a teenager to show up. Dressed preppy-style in a duffel coat and carrying a notebook, he communicates with the dead - at least, this is what Hirase has pieced together from the Internet - offering them a chance to travel back into the real world. He quickly lays down some ground-rules: you are allowed only one meeting with the dead, for a single night; the dead person must not have been called back by anyone else before, plus they have the right to refuse. Lastly, the service is entirely free. Four more characters will enlist the Go-Between for an emotional encounter with the dead. What is the mystery behind this smart young man with the notebook and why does he insist on meeting in, of all places, a freezing cold hospital carpark?Utterly unique and soul-stirring, THE GO-BETWEEN explores the wonder of life, the magic of the ordinary and the importance of friendship and always making amends, from Japan's best-loved magical realist mystery author.
