Tokyo Express
Tokyo Express

Intricate crime puzzle in cool, crisp prose.

If you're someone who gets hooked on detective novels with cunning plots and enjoys being mentally challenged, Tokyo Express is your kind of ride. Matsumoto is known as Japan's Agatha Christie for a reason, blending meticulous attention to detail with a narrative elegance that keeps you deeply immersed. As you join the detectives unraveling this ingenious lovers' suicide mystery, you'll appreciate the masterful delivery that has earned this book its classic status.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart. In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast's wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple's cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers' suicide. But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime. Now widely available in English for the first time, Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto's masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.
