A father on the run. Two daughters in danger. Millions in dirty money moving overseas. When a Tokyo financier vanishes with his two young daughters, Detective Hiroshi Shimizu is called in to track what looks like a desperate escape from a messy murder scene. But the trail of forged transfers, offshore accounts, and silent partners tells another story-a high-stakes financial heist disguised as a family getaway. From the glass towers of Azabu to the backstreets of Shinjuku, Hiroshi chases a man who's outsmarting both the law and the criminals funding him. As the investigation widens, the money flies across borders-from small banks in Aomori to big banks of London to the tax-sheltered trusts in Wyoming-pulling Hiroshi into a global game where investing savvy is the only currency that loses value. Every clue draws him deeper into Tokyo's polished corruption: investment firms laundering fortunes behind luxury doors, expats buying silence with yen, and a father willing to risk everything to give his daughters a way out. But the city doesn't forgive debts-and it never lets anyone get away clean. Azabu Getaway is a razor-edged noir thriller that cuts across Tokyo's financial elite and into the heart of a family running out of time. In a world where money never sleeps, escape is just another transaction waiting to fail. In Tokyo, money doesn't just move-it hunts. And there's no place to hide.
