One night, an entire family is gunned down in San Francisco?s bustling Japantown neighbor?hood, and Brodie is called on by the SFPD to decipher the lone clue left at the crime scene: a unique Japanese character printed on a slip of paper drenched in blood. Brodie can?t read the clue. But he may have seen it before?at the scene of his wife?s death in a house fire four years ago. With his deep array of Asian connections and fluency in Japanese, Brodie sets out to solve a seemingly perfect crime and at the same time learn whether his wife?s tragic death was more than just an accident.
