Finally, an authentic book about Japan

This was a fun book to read. What made it more so - in addition to the very well-handled plot and characters - was that Meigs obviously knows his setting. After suffering through many books, some by unknowns, others by very well-knowns (can you say "Danielle Steel"...?), it certainly is nice to read something that was written by someone who actually spent more than six months in Japan. If you have an interest in the country, read this book. It will tell you volumes if you let it. If you don't particularly have an interest in Japan, but just like a good mystery/thriller, read it anyway. You won't be disappointed. I have to join the other reviewer in wondering who Meigs really is. It would be nice to read other books by this man.

Well written, exceedinly authentic and gripping.

I found this book to be very well written with a strong plot and exceptional character development. The author creates an autoritative view of Tokyo, U.S- Japanese relations and Japanese culture. I'm waiting for his next book . This title was published in 1992 under a pseudo name and I'm wondering if the author has published other works under a different name.
