A dead woman. A missing lover. A cop with a secret.
Throughout his police career, Tokyo police Inspector Shig Sato has kept a secret – his family is inextricably bound to the Fujimori crime family, by honor and tradition, going back generations. Early in his career, Sato needed the help of his childhood friend Ses Fujimori to solve a crime. It’s a favor neither man has forgotten.
As Sato’s career winds down, a beautiful young jazz club waitress is found murdered. Her U.S. Marine boyfriend is missing, and the club’s owner is nowhere to be found. Sato is called to lead the investigation. He knows he must first find the Marine before the murder becomes an international incident and the media attention, demonstrations, and diplomatic firestorms derail the investigation.
Then Sato discovers the club owner is the son of notorious yakuza boss Ses Fujimori.
With the son now a suspect, Sato knows his debt to Fujimori will have to be paid, and that the crime boss will demand whatever is necessary to keep his son out of prison.
Will Sato’s debt to a yakuza boss keep a killer from justice?
