eBook & Paperback; 230 Pages
Series: Hiro Hattori Novels/Shinobi Mysteries
Genre: Historical Mystery
Autumn, 1565: When an actor's daughter is murdered on the banks of Kyoto's Kamo River, master ninja Hiro Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo are the victim's only hope for justice.
As political tensions rise in the wake of the shogun's recent death, and rival warlords threaten war, the Kyoto police forbid an investigation of the killing, to keep the peace -- but Hiro has a personal connection to the girl and must avenge her. The secret investigation leads Hiro and Father Mateo deep into the exclusive world of Kyoto's theater guilds, where they quickly learn that nothing, and no one, is as it seems. With only a mysterious golden coin to guide them, the investigators uncover a forbidden love affair, a missing mask, and a dangerous link to corruption within the Kyoto police department that leaves Hiro and Father Mateo running for their lives.
“In The Ninja’s Daughter, Susan Spann’s poetic voice brilliantly captures the societal disparities, political intrigues, and martial conflicts of sixteenth-century Japan through the persevering efforts of ninja detective Hiro Hattori to solve a murder authorities consider of no consequence.” --JEFFREY SIGER, International Bestselling Author

ReplyDeleteDef during the Mayan empire! I've study that culture and have always equate them to elves and the Aztec as dwarfs. One of my professors has helped translate the only 2 Mayan books that have survived today. It's hilarious! The Mayans (at least in these two books) are so snobby and just throw money at the barbaric Aztec to go harass some other kingdom. Their recorded history manages to describe how filthy and gross they are. I always imagine their faces if they were to hear people from the future always get the two cultures confused. XD Like mistaking a dwarf for an elf! Srry the history nerd came out... O.o
