The Thief is a seasoned pickpocket. Anonymous in his tailored suit, he weaves in and out of Tokyo crowds, stealing wallets from strangers so smoothly sometimes he doesn�� even remember the
snatch. Most people are just a blur to him, nameless faces from whom he chooses his victims. He has no family, no friends, no connections...but he does have a past, which finally catches up
with him when Ishikawa, his first partner, reappears in his life, and offers him a job he can�� refuse. It�� an easy job: tie up an old rich man, steal the contents of the safe. No one gets
hurt. Only the day after the job does he learn that the old man was a prominent politician, and that he was brutally killed after the robbery. And now the Thief is caught in a tangle even he
might not be able to escape.
