Conspiracy and serial murder open the door to a compelling, intricately woven plot in this masterwork of suspense. 520 $a Everyone faces uncertainty at some point in their lives. Even a brilliant surgeon like Kenzo Tenma is no exception. But there's no way he could have known that his decision to stop chasing professional success and instead concentrate on his oath to save peoples' lives would result in the birth of an abomination. The questions of good and evil now take on a terrifyingly real dimension. Years later, in Germany during the tumultuous post-reunification period, middle-aged childless couples are being killed one after another. The serial killer's identity is known. The reasons why he kills are not. Dr. Tenma sets out on a journey to find the killer's twin sister, who may hold some clues to solving the enigma of the "Monster." 650 $a Graphic novel. 650 0 $a Surgeons $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $z Germany $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Surgeons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z Japan $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a Serial murderers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01113110 650 7 $a Surgeons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139336 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 655 0 $a Suspense comic books, strips, etc. 655 4 $a Graphic novels. 655 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 700 1 $a Nieh, Camellia, $e translator. 700 1 $a Dutro, Steve, $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Montesa, Michael, $e editor. 830 0 $a Viz signature. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409024957.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D56D58A6D7CB11E6B48BCAB2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
