The fourth installment of the Mas Arai mystery series and the
precursor to Strawberry Yellow, Blood Hina is now in paperback for
the first time.
"Mas Arai is a wholly original sleuth--reluctant, curmudgeonly, and
irresistible."
-- Nina Revoyr, author of Lost Canyon, Southland, and Wingshooters
Mas Arai's best friend Haruo is getting married, and he has grudgingly
agreed to serve as best man. But when the ancient Japanese doll display
that belongs to Haruo's fiancée goes missing, the wedding is called off
with fingers pointed at Haruo. To save his friend's life, Mas must
untangle a web of secrecy, heartbreaking memories, and murder dating all
the way back to the Japanese American detention centers of World War II
and drug-running of the 1980s.
