In the third book in “what will likely be a long and
successful series” (San Francisco Magazine), Japanese
antiques dealer and PI Jim Brodie goes up against the CIA,
FBI, Department of Homeland Security—and a killer operating
on both sides of the Pacific.
In recognition for his
role in solving the Japantown murders in San Francisco,
antiques dealer and sometime-PI Jim Brodie has just been
brought on as the liaison for the mayor’s new Pacific Rim
Friendship Program. Brodie in turn recruits his friend, the
renowned Japanese artist Ken Nobuki, and after a promising
meeting with city officials and a picture-perfect photo op,
Brodie and Nobuki leave City Hall for a waiting limo.
But as soon as they exit the building, a sniper attacks
them from the roof of the Asian Art Museum. Quick thinking
allows Brodie to escape, but Nobuki ends up hospitalized and
in a coma. Brodie soon realizes that, with the suspicious
and untimely death of Nobuki’s oldest son a week earlier in
Napa Valley, someone may be targeting his friend’s
family—and killing them off one by one.
Suspects are
nearly too numerous to name—and could be in the United
States or anywhere along the Pacific Rim. The quest for
answers takes Brodie from his beloved San Francisco to
Washington, DC, in a confrontation with the DHS, the CIA,
and the FBI; then on to Tokyo, Kyoto, and beyond, in search
of what his Japanese sources tell him is a legendary killer
in both senses of the word—said to be more rumor than real,
but deadlier than anything else they’ve ever encountered
if the whispers are true.
