Suspense
A new and enticing voice in fiction draws readers through
the streets of Paris and New York on an intricate adventure.
It's twisting, contemplative, playful and darkly
entertaining.
A suicide note. Hidden clues. A deadly game of wits. An
imaginary cat. A paean to a strange and addictive
friendship. Three Lives of Tomomi Ishikawa is a
compelling invitation to indulge in simple delights and
explore a shadowy world where the boundaries between truth
and invention are blurred. Ben Constable and his friend Tomomi "Butterfly" Ishikawa
live in Paris. They drink in late-night bars, smoking and
laughing, caught up in a seemingly endless
conversation—until Butterfly sends a letter saying
she's killed herself. Haunted by the loss, Ben follows her
final instructions on a mysterious treasure hunt, revealing
unexpected joys and obscure faces of the cities she has
lived in. But the deeper he digs, the darker the past he
uncovers. Butterfly's life was less innocent than he could
have imagined. In a game he thought had been devised for his
amusement Ben starts to suspect he is in fact the plaything.
And the real and surreal overlap, making it difficult to
judge what comes from the heart and what could be dangerous.
