Reviews


"[Miyuki Miyabe's] true subject is the mystery of modern Japanese identity ... she is a master of small gestures, the precise geometry of meaning as it moves between people ... a subtle observer of a country on the cusp. Her American readers can only hope for more chances to see through her eyes." -Los Angeles Times
"A powerful and satisfying mystery." -Time, Asia Edition
"Crossfire will be a big hit with fans of Stephen King and John Connolly alike." -Book Page
"This provocative paranormal police procedural from the prolific Miyabe, like her two previous crime novels translated into English (All She Was Worth and Shadow Family), examines the dark side of Japanese society. ...this startling genre mix keeps the reader turning the pages right up to the breathtaking climax." -Publishers Weekly
"In this newest novel by awarding-winning mystery author Miyabe (All She Was Worth), the power of one woman is taken to new heights. ...As these two women draw closer together, a twisted plot unfolds that tests the limit of taking the law from the hands of the powerful and giving it to the powerless. This novel goes well beyond the concept of Stephen King's Firestarter (Miyabe herself has been called "the Stephen King of Japan") with beautiful subtlety and suspense. Recommended for all public libraries." -Library Journal
