In this gripping thriller, an American antique dealer-turned-reluctant private eye must leverage his knowledge of Japanese culture to solve a major murder case in San Francisco, while he and his daughter become targets of a mysterious killer. Jim Brodie, who has connections to a Tokyo-based private investigation firm, receives a call about a family brutally murdered in Japantown. As someone raised in Japan, he has previously assisted the SFPD, but the crime scene reveals only one clue: an unreadable scrap of paper with devastating implications for both the victims and Brodie. Utilizing his fluency in Japanese and network of Asian contacts, he follows leads from a shadowy powerbroker, a renegade detective, and a tycoon linked to the murders. This investigation takes him from California to Japan, where he encounters terrified citizens and informants. As he unravels a complex web of intrigue that spans centuries, he discovers a deadly secret that endangers not just his life but also the lives of his family and friends. With rich insights into Japanese culture, this story introduces a compelling new character in Jim Brodie.
