On the face of it, Hideo Yokoyama’s novel Six Four and its TV adaption don’t have much in common.
Set in 1989 (Six Four refers to the Japanese calendar year the action takes place), the original novel told the story of a police officer haunted by a mistake he made years ago while handling the case of a missing girl. When his own daughter goes missing, he sets out to find her – but quickly encounters a quagmire of corruption and secrecy.
