Tokyo Express

'It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart.'. In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast's wind and cold the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple's cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide of a lovers' suicide. But in the eyes of two men Torigai Jutaro a senior detective and Kiichi Mihara a young gun from Tokyo something is not quite right. Together they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime.... Now widely available in English for the first time Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto's masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.
