Description
'A powerful, stirring read.' - The Times
'Typically brilliant. I loved it.' - Adrian McKinty
'The most stone-cold crime novel of 2021.' - CrimeReads
Tokyo Redux unfolds in three distinct time periods, starting in July 1949, in the vibrant and complex city of Tokyo. President Shimoyama, the Head of the National Railways of Japan, has mysteriously disappeared. American Detective Harry Sweeney is tasked with leading the missing person's investigation.
Fast forward fifteen years to the cusp of the 1964 Olympics, as Tokyo prepares to welcome the world and shine in the global spotlight. Hideki Murota, a private investigator, is confronted with a case that forces him to face a crime he has long been hiding from.
Over two decades later, in late 1988, as Emperor Showa lies on his deathbed, an ageing American named Donald Reichenbach knows the ultimate truth of the greatest mystery of the Showa Era rests with him.
'I was knocked out, transported and lost in David Peace's Tokyo ... an extraordinary novel.' - Hideo Yokoyama
'Many novels are hyped as "polyphonic", but Peace's now complete Tokyo trilogy truly is, brilliantly summoning forth multiple voices in the soundscape of a city gripped by seismic change.' - Guardian, Book of the Day
