Description

Not even close to the Shogun's court at Edo, Most Honorable Detective Sano Ichiro starts the most difficult case of his career. Upon the insistence of his strong willed and lovely wife Reiko, Sano comes with her in the emperor's palace to unmask the killer--who possesses the key of kiai, "the nature town," a robust shout that may kill immediately. A higher Kyoto standard may be the target. Treading cautiously via a web of political interest, agents, forbidden interests, and elaborate plots, Sano and Reiko should find it difficult to outsmart a crafty monster --and remain in front of the structure surprise.
