Police detective Ryosuke Azuma of Ataka City in Chiba Prefecture, which is a hotbed of all sorts of crimes, is the most sensational man feared as one who can smile and the next moment become exceedingly violent. This is a thrilling criminal action novel describing the intense battle between drug smugglers and Azuma, the hero produced in days of no hope.
Ryousuke Azuma, the hero of this story, is a 42 years old police detective, the most violent at the Ataka Police Office, who is feared as one who can smile and the next moment become exceedingly violent. The story takes place in an imaginary city of Ataka located in the coast area of Chiba Prefecture where the population has greatly increased following the opening of the Aqua Line Highway and which has become a hotbed of all sorts of crimes such as drugs, juvenile crimes and corruption. Here, Azuma and the "lady drug superintendent" Eiko Karasuma stand up to the drug smugglers. The accumulated crimes in Japan make him seem to shine as the moon in the sky. And his reflections eventually cast a light even on the readers' hearts. The title "The Moon in a Fury" reflects the author's such expectations as he himself says. Azuma is a new hero, the kind not found in conventional criminal action novels, whose brilliancy increases exactly in an age like today in which everyone is depressed by not being able to find an exit to their problems or directions to proceed.
