A family-history investigation meets a wartime murder case
Set in San Francisco, this mystery places antiques dealer Rei Shimura between two connected inquiries: a personal project on a century of Japanese decorative arts within her family and a legal case concerning Asian nationals forced into slave labour by Japanese companies during World War II. When a client connected to the lawsuit is killed, Rei’s research turns toward difficult questions about her own family’s wartime past. The novel links detective work with inherited history, examining loyalty, responsibility, and the ways people evade blame while Rei pursues the truth behind the murder.

A new crime-thriller full of suspense from Sujata Massey, the acclaimed author of The Bride's Kimono and The Floating Girl.
Antiques dealer Rei Shimura is in San Francisco visiting her parents and researching a personal project tracing the story of 100 years of Japanese decorative arts through her own family's experience. Her work is interrupted by the arrival of her boyfriend, lawyer Hugh Glendinning, who is involved in a class action lawsuit on behalf of aged Asian nationals forced to engage in slave labour for Japanese companies during
World War II.
These two projects suddenly intertwine when one of Hugh's clients is murdered and Rei begins to uncover unsavoury facts about her own family's actions during the war. Rei unravels the truth, finds the killer, and at the same time learns about family ties and loyalty and the universal desire to avoid blame.
