About this book
Description
This book is nominated for the folio prize it is december 6 1941. America stands at the brink of world war ii. Last hopes for peace are shattered when japanese squadrons bomb pearl harbor. Los angeles has been a heaven for loyal japanese-americans - but now, war fever and race hate grip the city and the japanese internment begins. The hellish murder of a japanese family summons three men and one woman. William h. Parker is a captain on the los angeles police. He's superbly gifted, corrosively ambitious, liquored-up and consumed by dubious ideology. He is bitterly at odds with sergeant dudley smith - irish emigre, ex-ira killer, fledgling war profiteer. Kay lake is a 21-year-old dilettante looking for adventure. Hideo ashida is a police chemist and the only japanese on the l.a. Cop payroll. The investigation throws them together and rips them apart. The crime becomes a political storm centre that brilliantly illuminates these four driven souls - comrades, rivals, lovers, history's pawns
