About This Book

Two young merchant brothers living in Yokohama face a series of escalating dangers after a violent street ambush and a suspected plot by a rival. They investigate attacks and betrayals, encounter ronin and hired cutthroats, and endure imprisonment, narrow escapes, and fierce combats in warehouses, an old castle, and a tunnel. Local allies provide aid, revelations unmask conspirators, and natural forces and organized resistance converge in a final confrontation that brings punishment for the guilty and closure to the brothers' long ordeal.
