The Meiji Guillotine Murders: A fiendish classic Japanese mystery

'One of the most original works in the history of Japanese mystery writing' Haruo Yuki, author of The Ark __________ Tokyo, 1869. The Meiji era dawns, but the wounds of civil war still fester. The new regime struggles to maintain peace, while ancient grudges resurface and Western ideas flood in. A new police force vows to restore order, led by chief inspectors Kazuki and Kawaji. Together they investigate a spree of baffling murders across the capital, from seedy dives to the heart of the Imperial Palace. Can they solve these seemingly impossible crimes and save the country from slipping into chaos once more?
