Beschreibung

<p><b><i>Shogun</i> meets Sherlock Holmes! Over 24 million copies have been sold of this beloved samurai adventure. </b></p><p>It has been half a year since Akiyama Daijiro became a samurai; half a year since he left his father Kohei - once the most skilled swordsman in the land - to set up his own blade school by the cool of the river. Ever since, amid the swaying bamboo groves, he waits patiently for his first disciple.</p><p>But his serenity is soon disrupted by the visit of a mysterious samurai with an unhonourable offer: in exchange for a vast sum of gold, he must attack and injure the daughter of the Shogun's most senior counsellor. Troubled by the proposal, Daijiro, alongside his father and Mifuyu, a female warrior without match, soon set out into the underworld of Edo-era Japan to uncover the conspiracy, before quickly finding themselves embroiled in a series of increasingly perilous adventures . . .</p><p>Widely considered to be the greatest work by Shotaro Ikenami, the master of Japanese historical fiction, <i>The Samurai Detectives</i> is a twisting, page-turning portrayal of one of the most intriguing, evocative periods in the history of Japan.</p><p><b>'A historical mystery series set in the shadowy underbelly of Edo-period Japan - surely just the thing read lazily in the sun.' <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></b></p>
