This is the most promising debut novel I’ve read this year. In the city that never sleeps Japanese-American detective James Sakura’s first case is going to keep readers sleepless as they try valiantly to arrive at the end in one sitting.
Well seasoned homicide detective Sakura is brought in to investigate the unusual deaths of two members of New York City’s homosexual community but when a serial killer seemingly expands upon his M.O. reinforcements are called in by Sakura .
Moore writes a new kind of serial killer/police-procedural here and he writes it well. Complicated case and interesting characterizations soon had me engrossed and forgetting I was reading another “Serial Killer” book. With a clever plot and wonderful inroads laid out for what will surely be a series I feel more than confident in saying watch this author. It can only get better from here.
