About this product

Product Information

May 1695. During a horse race at Edo Castle the chief of the shogun's intelligence service, Ejima Senzaemon, drops dead as his horse gallops across the finish line--the fourth in a recent series of sudden deaths of high-ranking officials. Sano Ichiro is ordered to investigate, despite his recent promotion to chamberlain and his new duties as the shogun's second-in-command. Meanwhile, Sano's wife, Reiko, is invited to attend the trial of Yugao, a beautiful young woman accused of stabbing her parents and sister to death. The woman has confessed, but the magistrate believes there is more to this case than meets the eye. He delays his verdict and asks Reiko to prove Yugao's guilt or innocence. As their investigations continue, both Sano and Reiko come to realize that the man he is trying to hunt and the woman she is desperate to save are somehow connected. A single fingerprint on Ejima's temple puts Sano on the trail of an underground movement to overthrow the regime, and in the path of an assassin with a deadly touch.

"Sano may carry a sword and wear a kimono, but you'll immediately recognize him as an ancestor of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade." -The Denver Post   Praise for Laura Joh Rowland The Perfumed Sleeve"Readers who enjoy a deep, insightful examination of a bygone period will want to read Perfumed Sleeve and the previous novels of this solid series." -Midwest Book Review   "In its careful, beautiful portrayal of a dangerous time in Japanese history, this ninth in a popular detective series is every bit as satisfying as the preceding eight. . . . Rowland has created a compelling and lively series." -Dallas Morning News   "Defty combining a classic whodunit with vivid period detail, Rowland raises the stakes for her next book with an unexpected twist at the end that promises to present her dogged but fallible hero with even more difficulties in the future." -Publishers Weekly   The Dragon King's Palace"Rowland uses her fine eye for detail to portray the intricate surface and roiling underbelly of life in a tightly structured, controlled society. Her Japan is a mix of Kabuki theaterlike stylized formality, palace intrigue, and physical action that would do a martial arts movie proud." -The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)   "A lively dissection of the samurai code of honor, sexual dishonor, palace infighting, and ancient Japanese mores." -Kirkus Reviews   "Rowland is one of the best mystery writers around. You owe it to yourself to check out the best suspense series you've never heard of." -The Flint [Michigan] Journal  , "Sano may carry a sword and wear a kimono, but you'll immediately recognize him as an ancestor of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade." - The Denver Post Praise for Laura Joh Rowland The Perfumed Sleeve "Readers who enjoy a deep, insightful examination of a bygone period will want to read Perfumed Sleeve and the previous novels of this solid series." - Midwest Book Review "In its careful, beautiful portrayal of a dangerous time in Japanese history, this ninth in a popular detective series is every bit as satisfying as the preceding eight. . . .

    Laura Rowland series

    If you are looking for a history fact book this is not it. If you want to learn about the historical time period,the attitudes,plots and life styles then these books are an excellent finding. She will become world famous for these fast moving tales that will keep you the edge of your chair. Writers like her come along once every hundred years. She reminds you of magazine writers from the 1920's, creating bigger than life characters surrounding them with tales that are equal to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sax Rohmrer and many others.

    This is an excellant mystery/ historical book of Japan.

    I truly enjoy the writing of this author and the historical information she gives of the fuedal shogun era of Japan. Her books are beautifully written and well thought out. Her attention to detail and accurate information of the events during this time are interesting and keeps the readers attention. She clearly describes the charactors personalities and the actions and customs of the time. I love her books! I Also buy the hardback books because of the art work.
