“A good fast-paced thriller.” —Reader’s Syndicate
 
The Case of the One-Penny Orange: Masuto has a break-in and a murder to solve, both of which are baffling. But when he suspects a connection between the two crimes, he uncovers a bizarre conspiracy that reaches back to the darkest days of World War II.
 
“A finely perceived mystery puzzle . . . an unusually interesting detective.” —The Washington Star
 
The Case of the Russian Diplomat: When a dead body is found in a pool at a high-class hotel notorious for its illicit activities, Matsuo finds himself hunting for a killer and tangled in a web of espionage and international intrigue.
 
“An enjoyable, highly professional entertainment.” —The New Yorker
 
The Case of the Poisoned Eclairs: A pleasant lull in murder cases is broken when a series of unusual poisoning deaths puts Masuto on the hunt for someone whose terrifying vendetta has only just begun.
 
“A consummate storyteller.” —The Baltimore Sun
