The Tattoo Murder: by Akimitsu Takagi

Product Information

Tighter editing, chopping out of B-roll and pointless conversations, might have imbued The Tattoo Murders, with a missing sense of urgency. His second novel, The Inugami Curse, is also available in English and indicates a hopeful trend that all of his books will eventually, one day, be available in English. Officially, tattooing is still strictly illegal at the time, so an air of secrecy and the taboo still surrounds the craft -- and practitioners tend to be very cautious about revealing what they do, but The Tattoo Murder Case immerses the reader fully in this milieu -- with the tattoo artists true artists, and the tattooing process something much more painstaking (and painful) than most contemporary Western tattooing.

PS: we are reminded by the novelist that in the 1950s Japanese society, tattooed people were being viewed as outlaws and criminals and then discriminated, poor them!

Now, at last, what many consider the best honkaku Japanese detective story has arrived in English in the form of a punchy, thrilling translation by Louise Heal Kawai.
