While investigating a brutal murder of a transgender woman in LA, Inspector Iwata discovers a world of corruption and murder centred around the exploitation of Mexican immigrants.<br/><br/>Summary: <br/>Inspector Kosuke Iwata, formerly of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, is now working as a private investigator in California. He may have left his home country behind him, but the crimes he has to face here are just as horrific, and as mystifying. A dead transgender woman is found out on the train tracks near LA's Skid Row. A Mexican homicide investigator riddled with cancer and corruption. A river of dirty money flowing through the Sonoran Desert. And a mother's secrets, tracing all the way from 1970s Tokyo to Japan's 48th prefecture, Torrance, California. <br/><br/>Running from the terrible events in Tokyo which cost him his family, and the crime which killed his partner- and Kosuke Iwate has established an uneasy peace, spending his days spying on unfaithful spouses and solving blue-collar crime and his nights with an unavailable woman.<br/><br/>Until this almost-idyll is shattered when he is approached by a voice from his past, demanding he find a savage killer.<br/><br/>Meredith Nichols was found dead on the lonely train tracks linking Sunset Boulevard with Skid Row. A transgender woman, and a known prostitute, the police suspect it's a hate crime.<br/><br/>But as Iwata digs deeper, he discovers a world of corruption, exploitation and murder - and that the killer has a target list which includes his own mother...<br/><br/>Forced to journey back into her past, and return to the homeland he has turned his back on, to find how she is linked to a seemingly unrelated crime, he unearths disturbing home truths. <br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/>British born of a Spanish father and a French mother, Nicolas Obregon grew up between London and Madrid. As a travel writer, Nicolas has had an extensive experience of Japan, but the beginning of his fascination with the country came from watching Japanese cartoons as a young boy. The inspiration for Blue Light Yokohama is easy to mark. During his first trip to Japan, Nicolas came across an article about a real-life crime which was to haunt him. Sixteen years after this atrocity, the case remains unsolved. Nicolas Obregon is a graduate of the acclaimed Birkbeck Creative Writing Masters course and a former bookseller for Waterstones. |
