Description
Set in medieval Japan's samurai court, Laura Joh Rowland's novel presents a gripping mystery. In September 1693, the Black Lotus Temple is burned to the ground, leaving three dead and one orphan. Samurai-detective Sano Ichiro investigates, discovering that the victims were murdered before the fire began. As Sano searches for the killer, he encounters Haru, the orphan girl found at the scene. However, his wife Reiko's investigation leads her behind temple walls, where she uncovers a sect involved in extortion, prostitution, and hedonistic rituals. This complex web of secrets threatens to upend both Reiko's marriage and her pursuit of justice. A tale of murder, deception, and loyalty, this novel is a gripping exploration of the darker side of medieval Japan's samurai society.
