Red Chrysanthemum by Laura Joh Rowland

Red Chrysanthemum by Laura Joh Rowland

In Tokyo, 1698: Sano Ichiro, the samurai detective who has risen to become the shogun's second-in-command, is investigating rumours of a plot to overthrow the ruling regime. But conspiracy theories travel far too close to home when Sano discovers that Lord Mori, heir to the shogun, has been found murdered in his own bed...with Sano's pregnant wife, Reiko, lying naked beside him. Was Reiko Lord Mori's scorned mistress, and vengeful assassin, as Lady Mori alleges? Or is she involved in a stunning hoax with her husband - as the ghost of Lord Mori has charged? Now, in a desperate race against time, Sano must find the real killer or face execution for treason...unless he can solve the mystery of the Red Chrtsanthemum.

"A page-turner..Rowland matches her talent for storytelling with her ability to render convincing historical detail." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Rowland has a painter's eye...[and] a politician's ear for intrigue." - The New York Times Book Review"
