ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

«Revenge does not occur in the manner anyone expected. In the end, the concern is to find that magical pass that enables the understanding of existence. --Mariana Enr quez

«A son must not live under the same sky as his father's killer. With this quote by Confucius, A Japanese Crime opens, an exquisite novel set in medieval Japan. Yutaka Tanaka, feudal lord of the Sagami province, must avenge the death of his father, murdered by a group of masked samurai. The crime investigation takes him to battlefields, court intrigues, and betrayals. As a prince who fails to understand, Yutaka will face the allure of automatons, the sentimental maneuvers of lady Ashikaga, and the sokushinbutsu secrets.

As much Asian as it is Argentinian, Daniel Guebel's latest novel is a detective story, a speculation about the kingdoms beyond the grave, and a superb and melancholic love story.
