Fallen Idol
Description
SOMETIMES SUICIDE IS JUST A FACADE
When a disgraced former pop star plummets to her death from her Osaka apartment, all signs paint a picture of a troubled young woman who took her own life. But once her parents hire Kyoko Nakamura to learn the truth, the private detective discovers not everything is as it seems.
Kyoko's investigation will lead her into a world of drugs and prostitution, face to face with dangerous criminals, and through the seedy underbelly of Japan's music industry. With all odds against her, can Kyoko redeem herself for a past failure by finding justice for a fallen idol?
From Percival Constantine comes a thrilling new mystery series, set in one of the world's most intriguing locales!
"In Fallen Idol, the harsh shadows cast by the twisty neon of Osaka hide bad intent but it's where the answers lie, and for resourceful PI Kyoko Nakamura there's no turning away."
? Gary Phillips, author of Batman: The Killing Joke novelization
