'An irresistible Hitchcockian gem: a fiendishly-plotted crime novel told in crisp, elegant prose' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train
'Matsumoto was Japan's Agatha Christie' Laura Hackett, The Sunday Times

'It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart.'

In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast's wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple's cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers' suicide. But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime...

Now widely available in English for the first time, Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto's masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.

Tokyo Express is an irresistible Hitchcockian gem: a fiendishly-plotted crime novel told in crisp, elegant prose.' - Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Seicho Matsumoto

Nascido em 1909 em Fukuoka, no Japão, Seicho Matsumoto só publicou o seu primeiro livro aos 40 anos. Porém, rapidamente se tornou um dos autores mais consagrados e lidos na ficção policial, sobretudo por conciliar o lado mais negro do mistério com uma exploração minuciosa da natureza humana, sobre o pano de fundo do Japão depressivo do pós-guerra. Vencedor de vários prémios, entre os quais o prestigiado Akutagawa, deixou-nos uma vasta obra, em que predominam os romances e a ficção breve. Morreu em 1992.
