Dalla quarta di copertina:

“Rowland has a painter’s eye for the minutiae of court life, as well as
a politician’s ear for intrigue.”---The New York Times Book Review

“The mystery is sharp and suspenseful, but, as usual, it’s the
beautifully re-created feudal Japan---rich in detail but never overloaded
with it---that captures our imagination. This series just keeps getting
better and better.”---Booklist on The Pillow Book of Lady Wisteria

“Rowland’s dazzling array of entertaining narratives continues to score
points with readers, with exotic locales, a flair for dramatics....”---The Japan Times

“Well-developed characters, a complex, absorbing plot and rich
historical detail should win the author...many new readers as well as a
place on mystery bestseller lists.”---Publishers Weekly (starred review)
on Black Lotus
