Description
Akitada is on his way to the bedside of his dying mother when bad weather forces him to take refuge in a temple whose central treasure is a brilliantly painted hell screen. Perhaps its violent imagery influences his dreams: that night he is awakened by a terrible scream. It’s only after Akitada returns to his family and a scene of domestic unhappiness and scandal that the significance of that cry becomes clear. For while he slept, a woman was murdered, and now he must find her killer, even if it means looking very close to home.
“Elegant and entertaining . . . Parker has created a wonderful protagonist in Akitada. . . . She puts us at ease in a Japan of one thousand years ago.” –The Boston Globe
“Akitada is as rich a character as Robert Van Gulik’s intriguing detective, Judge Dee.”
–The Dallas Morning News

- content: While rushing home to the capital to visit his dying mother, nobleman Sugawara Akitada stumbles upon a gruesome mutilation and murder. Compelled to investigate, Akitada follows a trail of clues while struggling with evolving familial relationships. Roy Vongtama portrays Akitada with a stark subtlety that mirrors the cold winter landscape of Parker's eleventh-century Japan. His narration is often emotionally restrained--an adept performance reflects the upper-class Japanese mores. Vongtama voices Akitada with an American accent, letting Parker's words weave their own historically rich and culturally vivid tones. Vongtama amps up the drama, however, with animated minor characters, including a sadistic painter, a brazen female wrestler, and a woman whose lips were cut off when she was attacked by the novel's elusive killer.
