Tokyo Express

An unputdownable, perfectly plotted detective story from Seicho Matsumoto, Japan"'s master of mystery "'It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart."' In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast"'s wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple"'s cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers"' suicide. But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime... Now widely available in English for the first time, Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto"'s masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.
