Yogoreta Yubi New Edition / Original Title: a Necessary Evil (MIRA Bunko)

[Machine Translation] A priest was murdered at a Nebraska airport. He was stabbed once in the abdomen with a knife, and confidential documents he was supposed to carry to the Vatican disappeared. Investigator Maggie is asked by the police to fly to the scene of the crime on a moment's notice. Nebraska is the place where she joined the investigation of the serial murder of a young boy a few years ago. It was a brutal crime that left a cross-shaped scar on the boy's chest. At the time, Maggie was not convinced by the conclusions reached by the investigators and believed that the real killer had managed to escape. Maggie arrives in the same place and with the same church-related case still haunting her to this day, she sets out to find the culprit...FBI Special Agent Maggie Odell, the best of the series.

ネブラスカの空港で神父が殺害された。刃物で腹部を一突され、彼がバチカンに運ぶはずだった機密書類が消えた。警察からの要請を受け、急遽現場へ飛ぶことになった捜査官マギー。ネブラスカといえば、数年前に少年連続殺人事件が起き、捜査に加わった場所だ。少年の胸に十字架の形の傷を残す、残忍な犯行だった。当時、捜査当局がたどり着いた結論に納得できなかったマギーは、真犯人はまんまと逃げおおせたと信じていた。同じ場所で、またも教会絡みの事件-今も胸にわだかまりを感じながら、マギーは因縁の地に降り立った。FBI特別捜査官マギー・オデールシリーズ最高傑作。
