Riveting and richly imagined, with a magnificent sense of time and place, The Iris Fan is the triumphant conclusion to Laura Joh Rowland's brilliant series of thrillers set in feudal Japan.Japan, 1709. Amid the ever-treacherous intrigue in the court, Sano Ichiro has been demoted from chamberlain to a lowly patrol guard. The shogun is old and ailing.
Sano's onetime friend Hirata is a reluctant conspirator in a plot against the ruling regime. His relationship with his wife Reiko is in tatters, and a bizarre new alliance between his two enemies Yanagisawa and Lord Ienobu has left him puzzled and wary. Yet, Sano's dedication to the Way of the Warrior--the samurai code of honor--is undiminished.Then a harrowing, almost inconceivable crime takes place.
In his own palace, the shogun is stabbed with a fan made of painted silk with sharp-pointed iron ribs.
