Title: Kill the shogun
First published: 2000
Description: In this rich new mystery, Dale Furutani brings back Matsuyama Kaze, a wandering samurai searching for the missing daughter of his murdered lord. Clues lead Kaze to the new capital of 17th-century Japan, Edo, where the girl has been sold into child prostitution. While Kaze seeks to save the child, he is himself the subject of a manhunt, believed to be a hired assassin out to kill the shogun. Even as he struggles to fulfill his quest, he must also clear his name and salvage his honor in this newest chapter in the series, a novel that is every bit as compelling as a stand-alone mystery.
