Description
A bad day gets worse for young detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a hot, crowded bus. Desperate to right the wrong, Murakami goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo’s sweltering streets for the stray dog who committed the crime. Stray Dog goes beyond a crime thriller, probing the squalid world of postwar Japan and the nature of the criminal mind.
