""Sano may carry a sword and wear a kimono, but you'll immediately recognize him as an ancestor of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade." "Rowland has a painter's eye for the minutiae of court life, as well as a politician's ear for intrigue."-"The New York Times Book Review""Think James Clavell meets Raymond Chandler."-"San Francisco Chronicle""Sano may carry a sword and wear a kimono, but you'll immediately recognize him as an ancestor of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade."-"Denver Post""Deftly 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 "on "The Perfumed Sleeve "

Reseña del editor

November, 1694. The streets of Edo are erupting in violence as two groups struggle for control over the ruling Tokugawa regime. One faction is led by the shogun's cousin and the other by the shogun's second-in-command. Each side would like Sano Ichiro, the shogun's most honourable investigator, to join its ranks. Despite temptation, he remains loyal to the shogun. But neutrality comes with a terrible price, and when a high-ranking official is found brutally murdered, Sano is thrown into another investigation filled with sex and danger and political intrigue.
