Profile Image for Jon Watson

Detective vs Criminal mastermind in 30s Japan

Akechi Kogoro is a private detective taking on the beautiful murderous Black Lizard. While she murders kidnaps and extorts as a queen of the criminal underworld, he struggles to save a young heiress from kidnap. The story is enjoyable as both Holmesian adventure with some dark twists, but also an insight into a changing 1930s Japan where dress, manners and class matter.
