Description
A riveting historical mystery set amid the exquisite ritual and refined treachery of eleventh-century Japan.
Sugawara Akitada is the son of impoverished nobility toiling at a low-level job in the Ministry of Justice. When an old friend, Professor Hirata, asks him to investigate a colleague’s blackmail, Akitada takes leave of his stultifying job for a temporary post at the Imperial University. There he finds gossip and rivalry abounding. A young girl is murdered. An old man mysteriously vanishes, and the Emperor declares it a miracle. Plunging into a labyrinth of conspiracy among the court’s most esteemed nobles, Akitada must step carefully while gathering clues to the puzzle before him.
A fascinating investigative procedural . . . goes down as smooth as a cup of sake with an appropriately powerful kick in the end.”—San Francisco Chronicle

- content: I.J. Parker's mysteries, set in ancient Japan, follow the adventures of Sugawara Akitada, who was born into nobility, but due to a reversal of the family fortunes, works at the Ministry of Justice. In this, the first of the series, Akitada vies with court nobles as he investigates blackmail and murder. The story drags occasionally, but in general this is a fun blend of police procedural and history lesson. One wishes that Roy Vongtama could have helped it along. Yet his American-accented voice sounds young and inexperienced, and his tone is uninflected. Although he reads with evident emotion and assays a few "voices," the result is stilted and one-dimensional. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
