1Q84. Buch 3

When Tengo wants to visit his comatose father in hospital, he finds an 'air doll' in his hospital bed, which contains an image of Aomame as a young girl. He reaches for her hand, and an invisible connection is created. From then on, Tengo waits to meet the doll again, but in vain. Was the signal not strong enough to save Aomame, who is vacillating between life and death? Meanwhile, the dangerous sect does everything it can to solve the murder of its leader. Aomame's trail is being followed by an agent as eerie as he is unpleasant. He investigates with deadly precision, but in the end he learns more than is good for him... In the third part of the epic Murakami once again proves in a most impressive way that the screw of the mercilessly gripping storytelling can always be turned a bit further. Also to be the most recent episode.
