Inspector Sakamoto has a single-minded approach to the solving of the mystery that is presented to him - in essence there is no mystery. This is a simple case of a jealous husband. Within hours of returning to duty Inspector Saito, keen not to be sidelined by his rival, involves himself in the case and soon uncovers a mass of startling new evidence surrounding the life and death of Yamada Eri. As the body count mounts Saito finds himself caught within the hidden nexus of modern Japan - the unholy triangle that links business with Government and the Yakuza. For once there is no obvious solution as each and every suspect appears to have a cast-iron alibi. It's only then that an unwitting Sakamoto helps Saito on his way to the final solution.

The body of a young woman is found naked and horrifically mutilated deep in the woods around Kamakura. Inspector Saito and Sergeant Mori as they consider the scene have no murder weapon, no motive, no suspect but more problematically no idea who the victim is. As they continue to investigate, first the identity of the victim and then the list of possible suspects they begin to uncover the murky world of Japan's Hostess clubs and one man in particular - Katagiri Youji.

From A Field to Anfield is the inspirational story of Nick Tanner's against-the-odds rise from the uncompromising grassroots football scene in Bristol to the glamour of then-champions Liverpool. Nick's story is not one of spending years mollycoddled in an academy system and having success handed to him, but of graft, days spent working in a factory before making it to the top, and being sold to Bristol Rovers by non-league Mangotsfield United for a couple of floodlight bulbs. Nick was a member of the last Liverpool squad to win the title, was in the stands at Hillsborough in 1989, and scored a Merseyside derby goal at Goodison Park, so his tales naturally include Anfield legends and A-list events with Kenny Dalglish and the rest. Equally, though, his is an inspirational story for any budding footballer about just how far hard work and relentless dedication can take you if you are willing to put in the yards. Nick also opens up on the personal impact of his career-ending injury, along with his various ongoing struggles.
