She'll wish she hadn't .

. . In Japan, one hundred thousand people voluntarily disappear every year, aided by those who help them start over.

They call them Johatsu - the evaporated. I brought the idea to England. No judgement, no questions.

Just new identities, packed bags, and discreet escape plans from abusive partners, debt, or simply lives that no longer fit. I thought I was doing something good - honourable, even. Until now.

I know now that not everyone is fleeing hardship. I've helped someone who committed a crime to flee the police. I've disappeared a murderer.

And unless I find him, I don't know what he'll do next . . .
