Beschrijving boek
It is October 1690, and Sano Ichiro, the shogun’s Most Honourable Investigator, is marrying Lady Reiko in Edo Castle. The ceremony is disrupted as women rush screaming from the harem, where the shogun’s most favoured concubine has been found dying in agony.
Sano speedily establishes that the victim was poisoned. This news sends shivers through the residents of the castle, who fear a bloody purge of potential culprits. Can Sano himself survive in the atmosphere of heightened tension? Even with his bride Sano cannot find peace, for Reiko is not a traditional, obedient wife, but an intelligent, obstinate girl bent on helping him pursue the killer.
For the sake of the shogun’s survival - and for his own honour - Sano must resist the temptation to arrest the most obvious suspect. And his enemies are watching his every move, waiting for him to make one fatal false step…
