Outsiders could spot the evils propping up Japan's political system. So could the woman who killed to protect them . . .
Professor Ryuichi Sakai. A respected academic at Tokyo City University. Found in the darkened bedroom of a down-market love hotel. A photograph by his side, and a single bullet through his brain. Rumour had it that Sakai was on the verge of uncovering the latest financial scandal involving high-level political corruption. Had the pressure got to him? Or was there a more sinister reason for his death?
English journalist Michael Morton is the last Westerner to see Sakai alive. A shared plane flight hadn't made them allies. But Morton, along with Japanese journalist Araki, is compelled to know more. As they follow the trail through Tokyo's underworld, their paths cross with a string of beautiful women. Each one of them Reiko - a lethally primed terrorist in search of a cause . . .
