Over twenty years on, late 1988. The Emperor Showa is dying. Donald Reichenbach, an ageing American, knows the final reckoning of the greatest mystery of the Showa Era is down to him.
'I was knocked out, transported and lost in David Peace's Tokyo . an extraordinary novel.' - Hideo Yokoyama
'Many novels are hyped as "polyphonic", but Peace's now complete Tokyo trilogy truly is, brilliantly summoning forth multiple voices in the soundscape of a city gripped by seismic change.' - Guardian, Book of the Day
