Overall, the translation was of a high quality in the un-copy-edited version I was sent to review. For me, Evil and the Mask was consistently gripping, without being over-ambitious by sacrificing the pacing on the behalf of fitting in too many characters or plot elements. I think the greatest asset Nakamura has is his ability to build up the atmosphere and tension in his masterful use (or retention of) details. As I found the book difficult to put down, I can recommend it highly for anyone who enjoys either crime fiction or political thrillers.
If this book appeals then you might also like to try [[The Thief by Fuminori Nakamura|The Thief]], also by Nakamura. We can also recommend [[Bandit Love by Massimo Carlotto]] and [[Shoot by Kieran Crowley]].
