The Missing 13Th Step

The starting point of the story is that an old couple was brutally murdered, and all evidence points to the young man Ryo Shuhara. However, due to a car accident, Shuhara Ryo lost his memory for a few hours before and after the incident. He only vaguely remembered that he had "walked on the steps." At the critical moment when he is about to be executed, Nango, the executioner who has doubts about the death penalty system, joins forces with Junichi, a young man with a complicated past who has just been released from prison on parole, and is entrusted with clearing Ryo Shuhara's grievances. The only clue they faced was the 13 steps that seemed to "disappear" in reality. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
