An intriguing tale of Japanese and Americans, corruption, crime, and cross-cultural (mis) communication. Fallen Flower is a police whodunit complete with red herrings, recalcitrant witnesses and deductive brilliance in the search for the murderer of a beautiful American woman in Osaka, Japan. Eric Thor is an American giant from the Minneapolis Police Department on an international exchange program, and Kennichi Murakami is a by-the-book Japanese threatened by ostracism from his colleagues for even paying attention to his foreign partner's ideas. Gritty and real, the denouement is brilliant.
