A tangled web of deceit strikes very near home in this new mystery of ancient Japan featuring Sugawara Akitada
Eleventh-century Japan is the expertly realized setting for I. J. Parker?s ingenious mystery series featuring sleuth Sugawara Akitada. In The Hell Screen, Akitada is on his way to the bedside of his dying mother when inclement weather forces him to adopt refuge in a temple whose central treasure is a brilliantly painted hell screen. Perhaps its violent imagery influences his dreams: that night he's awakened by a scream. It?s only after Akitada returns to a scene of domestic unhappiness and scandal that the importance of that cry becomes clear. For while he slept, a female was murdered, and now he must find her killer.
