When the timid yet curious Elsie Maitland stumbles upon a small seaside town, she takes a room in the lone hotel on top of the cliffs—but something's amiss. A curious group of guests has been assembled by an unknown host, but what's even more puzzling is that not even the guests seem to know why. What they do know, however, is that they were all suspects in an unsolved murder twenty years earlier, a murder that took place at this very hotel.

Life at the prestigious Q High School for Girls in Tokyo exists on a precise social axis: a world of insiders and outsiders, of haves and have-nots.

Years later, Yuriko and Kazue are dead - both have become prostitutes and both have been brutally murdered. Natsuo Kirino, celebrated author of Out, seamlessly weaves together the stories of these women's struggles within the conventions and restrictions of Japanese society.
