Poison Across Tokyo (Inspector Aizawa Crime Novellas Book 1)

Tokyo, September 1932

After the chaos of the May 15th Incident, the Great Depression, and the invasion of Manchuria, Japan searches for stability. The puppet state of Manchukuo is finally set to be recognized by the Japanese government when a prominent businessman receives a threatening letter. Although he downplays it, Inspector Kenji Aizawa of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department assigns his geisha spy Reiko Watanabe to watch him in secret - until the businessman is suddenly poisoned.

The killer is a mysterious figure dubbed the Poison Woman. New deaths break out across Tokyo, all poisoned but with few, if any, connections. Inspector Aizawa and Reiko Watanabe search for clues, unraveling the Poison Woman's connection to a group of Korean nationalists plotting political assassinations.

But the victims all appear random and unconnected - until Aizawa begins prying into the past, unearthing crimes and tragedies that were buried long ago. Meanwhile, a rising politician plans to host a lavish banquet for General Shigeru Honjo, the conqueror of Manchuria. The dreaded Tokko, Japan's Thought Police, soon intervene, widening the case from simple murder to international espionage.

Time is running out for Aizawa and Reiko to find the Poison Woman, uncover her motives, save her targets, and expose the truth before it's forgotten forever.

Poison Across Tokyo is the first in a side series of thriller novellas starring Inspector Aizawa, all steeped in politics, conspiracies, and crimes from 1930s Japan.
