I loved it! – Remy Martin, author

Japan in the early 1930s is suffering badly after a decade of economic depression. Young geisha Orikasa Aiko is convinced Japan is moving towards war in Asia, and ultimately a war with America. Aiko and police inspector Sato Yuudai work against a military determined to take Japan to total war. But forces are working against them as Japan goes to war in China. Young Lieutenant Sato Kurisu then becomes part of the espionage maelstrom of occupied Shanghai, as ally becomes foe and foe becomes ally; almost day by day.

This is a fascinating tale about a country which instigated a war it could never win, and was then was prepared to fight to the last man and woman to stave off an inevitable defeat.

I was inspired to write Ketsumeidan after reading the novel 'Smoke Over Tokyo' by Mr Matthew Legare - Mark Morey Author
