Description

Set in the luscious finery of the samurai court of medieval Japan, this
installment in the bestselling series by Laura Joh Rowland, is filled with
shocking surprises and suspense as readers are once again allowed access
into the world of Sano Ichiro. In September of 1693, the Black Lotus
Temple, spiritual center for hundreds of Buddhist nuns, monks, priests, and
orphans, is burned to the ground leaving three dead and one orphan running
for cover. Veteran samurai-detective Sano Ichiro, the Most Honorable
Investigator of Events, Situations and People, is called on to investigate
the incident. He quickly discovers that despite appearances, the victims
did not die in the fire: they were brutally murdered before the fire even
began. With a triple homicide on his hands, Sano's search for a killer
leads him to Haru, the orphan girl found at the scene of the crime. But
Sano's wife Reiko, investigating the case against Sano's wishes, is
convinced of Haru's innocence. Reiko's investigation leads her behind the
walls of the Black Lotus Temple. It is within these walls that she
discovers a sect involved in extortion, prostitution, and hedonistic
rituals. Could one of the sect's members be the killer? Will Reiko risk her
marriage to Sano in order to prove Haru's innocence?
