'He's the high priest of plot .

deftly woven, but also beautifully written .

I loved it.

' Mel Giedroyc 'One of the finest crime writers of any generation' Daily Mail Umiko Wada has recently had quite enough excitement in her life.

With her husband recently murdered and a mother who seems to want her married again before his body is cold, she just wants to keep her head down.

As a secretary to a private detective, her life is pleasingly uncomplicated, filled with coffee runs, diary management and paperwork.

That is, until her boss takes on a new case.

A case which turns out to be dangerous enough to get him killed.

A case which means Wada will have to leave Japan for the first time and travel to London.

Following the only lead she has, Wada quickly realises that being a detective isn't as easy as the television makes out.

And that there's a reason why secrets stay buried for a long time.

Because people want them to stay secret.

And they're prepared to do very bad things to keep them that way.
