Frequent detective Kazuo Mori has fallen on bad times. So bad that he is forced to pray to the Japanese gods to grant him prosperity. Therefore, when the task comes to free an expensive strip dancer named Angel from the clutches of the dangerous yakuza George Nishio, nicknamed the Wolf, Mori does not have to choose.

But the next order also arrives: a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Health is killed, and his A mistress, the owner of an exclusive dating house, urgently needs to find out the name of the killer. And Kazuo Mori embarks on a dangerous journey through the outskirts of post-industrial Japanese society, where everything is run by virtual puppeteers and reality is far from what it strives to look like.

A jazzy detective noir by Haruki Murakami’s student, the English writer Peter Tasker, “Samurai Boogie” » – for the first time in Russian.
