About
the book:
Autumn, 1565: When an actor’s daughter is
murdered on the banks of Kyoto’s Kamo River, master ninja Hiro
Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo are the victim’s only hope for
justice.
As political tensions rise in the wake of the
shogun’s recent death, and rival warlords threaten war, the Kyoto police forbid
an investigation of the killing, to keep the peace–but Hiro has a personal
connection to the girl, and must avenge her.
The secret investigation leads Hiro and Father
Mateo deep into the exclusive world of Kyoto’s theater guilds, where they
quickly learn that nothing, and no one, is as it seems.
With only a mysterious golden coin to guide them,
the investigators uncover a forbidden love affair, a missing mask, and a
dangerous link to corruption within the Kyoto police department that leaves
Hiro and Father Mateo running for their lives.
“In The Ninja’s Daughter,
Susan Spann’s poetic voice brilliantly captures the societal disparities,
political intrigues, and martial conflicts of sixteenth-century Japan through
the persevering efforts of ninja detective Hiro Hattori to solve a
murder authorities consider of no consequence.” -JEFFREY SIGER, International
Bestselling Author
