When an ancient tradition suddenly and brutally reappears, Sano risks everything to bring the killer to justice.

[Laura Joh] Rowland hits her stride as a writer who can deal equally well with the pacing of plot and the nuances of character development. . . . Rowland clearly knows how to build suspense and action, a talent that she demonstrates with great skill.”—New Orleans Times-Picayune

“Sano may carry a sword and wear a kimono, but you’ll immediately recognize him as an ancestor of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade.”—Denver Post
“A colorful pictorial style that conveys . . . excitement and . . . danger.”—The New York Times Book Review
