Novel Psycho-Pass (Last Part)

[Machine Translation] The absolute rule of the sibylla system, which judges people as potential criminals before they commit crimes, has been broken by the "psycho-pass", a numerical value that measures a person's psychological state and personality tendencies. The social order has been overturned by Seigo Makishima, a criminal who cannot be judged as a criminal, even though he commits crimes and his crime rate does not rise. Seigo Makijima is the man behind the bizarre serial murders that occur one after another, and ever since Shinya Kugami saw his name on a specimen case three years ago, he has been chasing clues to the case, even falling from the position of watchdog to that of enforcer. Confronting Makijima, the only one in the Criminal Investigation Section's First Section, and witnessing his unquantifiable malice and the death of his friend, the watchdog, Akemi Tsunemori, in a state of great shock, renews her determination to catch him. However, Makijima is about to put his next big trick into action... The co-writers of the TV anime have written the official novelization of episodes 12 to 22 of the 2nd season, in the second volume of the series.
