Tokyo Express

by Seicho Matsumoto - £9.99  Penguin Books Ltd (2023)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780241439081 | ISBN 10: 0241439086

'An irresistible Hitchcockian gem: a fiendishly-plotted crime novel told in crisp, elegant prose' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train
 
'Matsumoto was Japan's Agatha Christie' Laura Hackett, The Sunday Times
 
'It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart.'
 
In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast's wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple's cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers' suicide. But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime...
 
Now widely available in English for the first time, Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto's masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.
