The first novella in the Seeing is Believing collection

An origin story inspired by the real urban legend of Teketeke

Everything is Connected.

Subway trains, JR trains, Express trains; they flow through Saitama like veins; the lifeblood of the city.

When a little boy from Urawa Ward goes missing, it is up to rookie officer Sasaki to find him before he becomes on of many 'evaporated people.'

Never found. Forever missing. Lost.

But he gets so much more than he bargained for.

Entangled in a web of deceit far greater than he and his mentor, Sergeant Oda, could have imagined, their lives are derailed by one sure fact: The culprit will not stop unless they make him.

With no witnesses, no leads, without evidence of foulplay, and without a hope in hell, can Sasaki find the missing boy before more lives are lost to the darkness?

PLEASE NOTE: Not for younger readers.
