Masterwork: A Cobey Muller Book

Superb! Splendid! Glorious! No words can properly describe the magnificent tattoos worn by Yakuza gangsters whose bad reputation makes tattooing an outlaw art in Japan. Seeking a full-body tattoo Cobey Muller travels to Japan where the greatest master improbably accepts him for the required year-long process. As ink in Cobeys skin reveals the masters long-held ultimate concept Cobey learns that he is not alone: A disgraced Yakuza has fled his gang carrying the same unfinished tattoo. The master fearing lethal consequences for any other Yakuza wearing the same design intends to complete it in secret on a foreigner. Discovery sweeps Cobey int a gang war where his work of art is the kiss of death. The scene of battle moves swiftly from Japan to California and back to Japan while Cobey as participant instead of bystander finds love and hope along with betrayal blood and despair.
