A Novel of Suspense.
Rei Shimura is struggling to build her antiques business in Tokyo when she gets a call from a Washington DC museum, asking her to act as courier and transport a set of priceless early nineteenth-century kimonos. Thus begins the adventure of a lifetime, involving stolen artefacts, a wacky tour group of Japanese women heading for the shopping malls, and a very dead body.
Rei manages to reunite with her parents in California to uncover a story of long-dead lovers, to rekindle a tempestuous affair with the man who just might be her Mr Right and - of course - solve the crime.
'The Bride's Kimono' is a terrific mystery thriller with an edge, sexy, witty and great suspense.
