Shadows of Tokyo by Matthew LegareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What an exciting book. First of all, you will learn more about Japan in te 1920-30's than you everr imagined. Japan was a fascinating society that was poised to to attack Pearl Harbor. We should have known more about their society so we could have mitigated their displeasure.
This is a book about the interaction between the police and army. The main character is a police inspector. He is highly moral and remarkably skillful. His sidekick is a Geisha/modern girl who becomes an informant and eventually a spy. The story unwinds slowly while teaching the reader more and more about Japan.
It seems that the characters are quite believable. The ending is also believable. I am looking forward the second of the trilogy.
