Diary of a Murderer. Young-ha Kim

In the past, he was a serial killer. Now he is seventy and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The past is crumbling to pieces, his memory is erased every day, but suddenly a new threat appears in his life - a dangerous person who can harm his daughter.

The line between reality and hallucination is getting thinner: does he really see the future criminal, or is it just a delusion of a sick mind? Will the old killer, losing his mind and control over himself, be able to save the only person close to him?

A tense psychological thriller about the fragility of memory, the nature of evil and the strange justice that is sometimes born even in the darkness.

What remains when the last memory disappears? Where is the line between oblivion and eternal peace? And who does a serial killer become when he no longer remembers his victims?

In this psychological thriller, Kim Yong-ha immerses the reader in an unsettling space between memory and nonexistence. The author does not give direct answers, but reflects on shame and guilt, humanity and ruthlessness. Behind the apparent simplicity of the story lies a deep philosophical tension that does not let go until the last page.
