"A captivating mystery with just the right touch of paranormal . . . a great read for those who enjoy a bit of gore, historical fiction, and mythology in their mysteries." - Portland Book Review "engrossed with the mystery, loving the combination of supernatural and historical details. ... Though the book had undeniably dark and creepy moments, the humor helped balance it out." - 52 Letters in the Alphabet When the trail of a head-collecting serial killer in Japan takes a supernatural turn, an unlikely pair of journalists must get the story without losing their heads. Akio Tsukino is bored. Akio Tsukino is a staff photographer at a Tokyo newspaper, stuck in the back pages, shooting parades and grade school plays. When a serial killer starts chopping off heads in nearby Kofu, Akio sees a chance to break out of the routine and prove himself. It never occurs to him he'd end up in the path of a monster. Masami Sato, a top staff writer on the police beat, is a tenacious woman making a name for herself in a male-dominated news world. When she's sent to investigate the serial killer, she'll stop at nothing to get the scoop. If only Akio would get out of her way. As they struggle to get along, and ghost stories of evil samurai creep into their investigation, Akio and Masami soon realize that the price for getting the story may be their own heads.
Autorenporträt
Hi, I'm Tristram Lowe. I write mostly fantasy of some flavor or another, with a focus on reluctant heroes, underdogs, and misunderstood monsters. I much prefer exploring the internal struggle over the outward sweeping actions of confident rulers and superheroes.The first two books of my urban fantasy thriller series, The Ghost and The Mask, are out and available. The first book, Headless, is about a couple of journalists in Tokyo investigating a serial killer who is chopping off heads-and keeping them. Masami is a top staff writer at a newspaper and she gets stuck on the assignment with Akio, a newbie staff photographer. The closer they get to the story, the stranger things become. I also wrote a fun and uplifting children's book called The Wrong Monster, which has great artwork by Jiyoon Shin. You'll love the monster and the positive message.Other than writing, I love fencing (and taught it for 15 years) and tabletop games. I narrate books, was an actor for a time, and wrote and played music in bands and solo for many years, all of it under another name. I currently live in Oregon with my amazing wife and kiddos. To pronounce Tristram correctly, simply put these two words together: Tryst (a clandestine meeting between lovers) + Rum (a hearty pirate's drink). Combined you have TrystRum: a hearty drink to be shared by clandestine pirate lovers.
