Award-winning author Keigo Higashino returns with a modern mystery where a once powerful man is broken, and upon finding an opening makes a big and potentially dangerous game in the name of revenge.

Sakuma is a high-profile ad agent who was about to land one of the biggest gigs of his career. But he was betrayed by the owner of the company that just hired him. Down on his luck and now on his way out career-wise, he planned to go publically chew out the man who brough him down. Instead, upon uncovering a deep secret, he devises a plan to bring down his new rival in a twisted game called kidnapping.

Reviews for The Name of the Game is A Kidnapping

Priase for Higashino: Higashino is a deft conjurer of human relationships, and while this is first and foremost a tale of grief-- thankfully, no one calls Naoko a story of redemption--he infuses it with spasms of sharp humor. --East Bay Express The novel flips suddenly...in wonderfully pleasing fashion, from pathetic tragedy to social satire and domestic comedy with themes of love, work, sex and education. How could we have ever imagined, without the help of a novel like this, that Japanese life could be so fraught with suffering and so entertaining all at once? --Alan Cheuse for the Dallas Morning News A popular Japanese author of crime novels, Higashino doesn't disappoint with this plot-driven, sleek novel of low-down crime in the world of high business. --World Literature Today
