"THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE IS THE ONE THAT ACHIEVES MADNESS ... " Tokyo. A serial killer known as the Doll Maker is stalking the streets of Kabuki-cho, preying on the prostitutes that work in the city's notorious red light district. Obsessed with obscene fantasies and terrifying visions of an apocalyptic holocaust, the killer is a divinely-inspired psychopath whose crimes incorporate elements of the occult, Buddhist doctrine and kabuki theatre.

Takeshi Harada, a disgraced former police officer, is hired by a powerful yakuza crime boss to track down the elusive killer. Embroiled in a cycle of sex, violence and murder, the investigation leads Harada through the neon netherworld of the Tokyo vice trade -- its love hotels, image clubs and pink salons -- culminating in a life-and-death confrontation with the Doll Maker ... and a final chilling act of bloody, symbolic justice.

" ... the most powerful and distinctive writer of horror fiction since Clive Barker ... " -- Grant Morrison, author of Arkham Asylum, The Invisibles, Doom Patrol, The Filth, Wonder Woman and JLA.
