Praise
“Peace’s most James Ellroy-like book yet . . . a powerful, stirring read.” —John Self, The Times (London)
“”The details are meticulously researched…The effect is one of transfixing veracity…Repetition and rhyme, trusted Peace techniques (some might say tics), give the prose an incantatory rhythm and an epic feel…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.” —Tanjil Rashid, The Guardian
“Peace [is] near his best in this powerful, overwhelming novel, in which genre excitement steadily gives way to the uncannier frisson of being plugged into a current of secret knowledge.” —Anthony Cummins, The Observer
“A brisk and atmospheric true-crime thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews
“David Peace has always been a novelist of stamina, scale and historical ambition.” —Jude Cook, Literary Review
“Another typically brilliant and idiosyncratic neo noir from one of our finest novelists. A murder mystery set in 1949 Japan during the US occupation it has all of Peace’s usual flair for language and characterization with an additional delicious layer of Pynchonesque baroque conspiracy. I loved it.” — Adrian McKinty, best-selling author of The Chain
