Description:

**The dangers of wealth and beauty emerge from the shadows in the latest Only in Tokyo Mystery... ** Like a modern geisha, Hoshi makes a handsome living as the #1 hostboy at Club Nova, pouring champagne and whispering sweet nothings into the ears of women who pay him a fortune for the pleasure of his company. But the party's over when Tokyo Detective Kenji Nakamura begins looking into the death of one of Hoshi's customers, a young woman found dead after spending an evening with him. As Kenji's search for the killer leads him deep into the red-light district, the last person he expects to run into is part-time English translator, Yumi Hata. But fear for her friend Coco has drawn her into Club Nova, and she agrees to help Kenji hunt down the predator who is targeting the desperate women of Tokyo. Kenji and Yumi's chase leads them from love hotels to a hidden museum where family secrets unfold like a diabolical puzzle, trying to catch the killer before it's too late... ** ### About the Author Jonelle Patrick grew up in southern California, and is a graduate of Stanford University, as well as the Sendagaya Japanese Language School in Tokyo.
