IT WAS YOU
An Only In Tokyo Short (76 pp)
An all-new not-for-sale Yumi Hata and Kenji Nakamura short mystery. Available exclusively to pop-up book club hosts and Japanagram subscribers.
Perpetually under-employed English translator Yumi Hata is not pleased to be roped into wasting her Saturday afternoon watching amateur headbangers compete at a local live house, but her best friend Coco lost a bet with one of her clients at the “relationship coaching” business she owns with ex-host Hoshi, so she reluctantly agrees.
The band managed by Coco’s painfully awkward client is not what she expected, though, and when Coco begins to show signs of becoming dangerously involved with their success, Yumi discovers that boring salaryman Ren Noda is hiding something. She enlists Detective Kenji Nakamura to help her investigate, and the deeper they dig, the more she's convinced that Coco is being targeted.
The last thing Yumi wants to do is burst her friend's bubble, but if Yumi doesn't stop her from falling into a pit she may never climb out of, who will?

NIGHTSHADE
The first book in the Only In Tokyo mystery series (320 pp)
A young woman is found dead in an abandoned car, with a pair of strangers old enough to be her parents. Their suicide note apologizes for a disaster that hasn’t yet happened, and someone is stalking the websites where lost souls go to make a date with death. The more part-time English translator Yumi Hata learns about how her friend Rika died, the more she’s convinced it was murder, and she plans to camp on Tokyo Detective Kenji Nakamura’s doorstep until he agrees to help her hunt down the truth. The evidence leads them deep into a maze of secret identities and underground clubs, where membership may have been the victims’ last mistake.
