We discuss chapters 9-13 of Inspector Imanishi Investigates by Seicho Matsumoto. With the body count mounting, and the killer seemingly responding to Imanishi’s movements, the risks are high and to celebrate, we go watch movies. Can Herds transform his ludicrous solution about sci-fi weapons into something that will earn him points, or is our first book of the new year going to end in tears? We’re also joined by Ben Sanders to talk about his new novel The Devils You Know, and the ways he uses the tools of the thriller genre to send his new protagonist to hell and back.
