Sins as Scarlet

fullDescription

"A dark, brutal ride through the underbelly of LA." —Anthony Horowitz, author of Magpie Murders
In this follow-up to Nicolás Obregon's critically acclaimed Blue Light Yokohama, Inspector Iwata returns—in a murder case in his new home of Los Angeles.
After a brutal murder investigation ripped apart his life, Kosuke Iwata quit both his job as a detective with the Tokyo Police Department and his country, leaving Japan for the hopefully sunnier shores of Los Angeles, California. But even though he's left his old life behind, he still has to make a living and Iwata sets up shop as a private investigator. But murder still follows him.
Approached by an old contact whose daughter has been murdered and the case laid to rest—unsolved—Iwata agrees to take on the case out of loyalty. But what seems initially like a cold-blooded murder takes a different turn when a homeless witness recalls the murderer's parting words: "I'm sorry."
From the depths of Skid Row to the fatal expanse of the Sonoran Desert, Iwata tracks the disparate pieces of a mysterious and heartbreaking puzzle. But the more he unearths, the clearer it is that things are not as they appear and people are not as they seem.
Lives untangle, fates converge, and blood is spilled as Inspector Iwata returns.
More Praise for Sins as Scarlet:
"Masterpiece—that's the only way to describe Sins as Scarlet. Obregón's brilliant novel is, at once, a classic noir, a psychological thriller and a riveting examination—sometimes dark, sometimes moving to the point of tears—of life in a less-than-angelic Los Angeles. And what a delight to see Inspector Kosuke Iwata back again! You will love every minute spent with this one-of-a-kind hero." — Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Burial Hour

"In the heady tradition of Raymond Chandler and Michael Connelly, Sins as Scarlet lays bare the bruised heart and broken soul of Los Angeles. Extraordinary stuff: a diabolically clever police procedural, a wrenching character study, and a merciless chronicle of a city in decay. I'm awestruck." — A. J. Finn, New York Times Bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

     September 24, 2018
     Obregón’s gripping sequel to 2017’s Blue Light Yokohama takes former police officer Kosuke Iwata from Japan to Los Angeles, where he spent his teen years, to become a private investigator. When his late wife’s mother, who blames him for her daughter’s and granddaughter’s deaths, asks him to investigate her other child’s murder, he feels unable to decline. Clues he uncovers in L.A.’s Skid Row lead him to Ciudad Cabral, Mexico, where he discovers a complex, sinister, and far-reaching conspiracy that preys on vulnerable immigrants. Obregón raises a range of cultural and social issues, from corrupt border patrol officers and high crime rates against trans women to the lucrative black-market organ trade, though the plot moves so quickly that the treatment feels cursory in places. Insights into Iwata’s backstory and troubled relationship with his mother, who has her own painful secrets, add depth to the characters. Despite minor flaws, this is a satisfying effort from a writer to watch. Agent: Daniel Kirschen, ICM Partners.

   • content: P.J. Ochlan puts his considerable narrating talents to work on this complicated murder mystery. From Japanese to American characters, he covers a range of ages and accents, including those of Spanish speakers. Ochlan's dexterity captures all of them with believable accuracy as we learn about the seamier side of life in L.A. Inspector Kosuke Iwata, who is at the heart of the story, comes onto the scene as an exile, living in California as a way to escape his past. Ochlan keeps us hanging on for each clue as a routine missing person investigation turns into a complicated homicide. He creates an aural tableau of crooked cops and an honest man looking for answers, which makes it hard to stop listening. M.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
