2 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
When Ray is sacked from his job in London, he goes to Japan hoping to start his life afresh. Things begin well: he lands work as an English teacher and strikes up a relationship with the beautiful, intriguing Tomoe. But his world is turned upside down when Tomoes father is found dead. Convinced that his death was a murder, Tomoe sets out after the killers, and when she goes missing Ray is forced to act. In his quest to find her hes dragged into the floating world a place of corrupt politicians, yakuza, sumo wrestlers and call-girls living out an adventure that echoes his dreams of Tokyos feudal past. Its a search guaranteed to bring further loss of life, and Ray is pulled into a desperate chase to ensure it wont be his.

This is a stunningly written tale of power, grace, honour and love…..oh and a bit of Yakuza lore too. There‘s also some corporate wrong doings and a plan to bring this to light, in all a masterful and totally captivating thrill of a read. I loved it.
