Mystery
From Summer of the Big Bachi to Gasa-Gasa Girl, Naomi
Hirahara’s acclaimed novels have featured one of mystery
fiction’s most unique heroes: Mas Arai, a curmudgeonly L.A.
gardener, Hiroshima survivor, and inveterate gambler. Few things get Mas more excited than gambling, so when he
hears about a $500,000 win–from a novelty slot machine!–he’s
torn between admiration and derision. But the stakes are
quickly raised when the winner, a friend of Mas’s pal G. I.
Hasuike, is found stabbed to death just days later. The last
thing Mas wants to do is stick his nose in someone else’s
business, but at G.I.’s prodding he reluctantly agrees to
follow the trail of a battered snakeskin shamisen (a
traditional Okinawan musical instrument) left at the scene
of the crime…and suddenly finds himself caught up in a dark
mystery that reaches from the islands of Okinawa to the
streets of L.A.–a world of heartbreaking memories,
deception, and murder.
