The Pillow Book of Lady Wisteria Summary
|
In the carefully ordered world of seventeenth-century Japan, the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter is home to women who have been sold to brothels as punishment for their crimes. It is here that the shogun's dashing young cousin and heir apparent is found dead -- stabbed through the eye with a long hairpin -- in the bed of a beautiful courtesan named Lady Wisteria. When both Lady Wisteria and her private journal -- or pillow book -- turn up missing, Sano Ichiro, the shogun's Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People, is called upon to solve the crime and find the lady, a job that is complicated slightly by the fact that Sano had a brief affair with her some years ago. Against his better judgment, Sano accepts the help of his fiery, young wife, Reiko, in exploring the surprisingly dangerous world of the pleasure quarter as he seeks to unmask a killer. The latest in a smashingly-received and bestselling series featuring Sano Ichiro, The Pillow Book of Lady Wisteria is sure to delight and captivate both loyal readers of the series and those just being introduced to the adventures of Sano and Reiko. |
