Reviews

Part historical stunner, part Kurosawa crime film, an original all the way. David Peace's depiction of a war-torn metropolis both crumbling and ascendant is peerless, and the story itself is beautifully wrought. --James Ellroy Brilliant, perplexing, claustrophobic. . . . Exhilarating. -- The New York Times Book Review The big post-war Japan novel, a fierce marriage of mood and narrative drive. David Peace continues to polish and advance his particular brand of literary crime fiction. --George Pelecanos Once this hellish locomotive of a book hooks onto its tracks it becomes difficult to stop. -- San Francisco Chronicle
