Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 34
In Tokyo, murder’s easy to hide. Detective Hiroshi Shimizu investigates white-collar crime in Tokyo. When an American businessman turns up dead, his mentor Takamatsu calls him out to the site of a grisly murder. A glimpse from a security camera video suggests the killer might be a woman. Hiroshi quickly learns how close homicide and suicide can appear in a city full of high-speed trains just a step - or a push - away.

Whether contemplating Tokyo’s odd-shaped bonsai houses, pachinko parlors, chopstick ballet, or the perilous habit of running for trains, the short, personal writings in Beauty and Chaos explore Tokyo from the inside to reveal the city’s deeper meanings and daily pleasures. Part travelogue, part comparative culture, and packed with insights, these sharply observed vignettes tap into the daily mysteries of Tokyo life to reveal what’s beneath the gleaming, puzzling exterior of the biggest city in the world.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

But after four years as a Marine and another two as a CIA contractor fighting the Soviet Union alongside the Afghan mujahideen, small-town life in Abilene is a suffocating dead end.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Bruno is a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life - living in his restored shepherd's cottage; patronizing the weekly market; sparring with, and basically ignoring, the European Union bureaucrats from Brussels. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes everything and galvanizes Bruno's attention.

Resumen del Editor
When the top American diplomat in Tokyo, Bernard Mattson, is killed, he leaves more than a lifetime of successful Japan-American negotiations. He leaves a missing manuscript, boxes of research, a lost keynote speech and a tangled web of relations.
When his alluring daughter, Jamie, returns from America wanting answers, finding only threats, Detective Hiroshi Shimizu is dragged from the safe confines of his office into the street-level realities of Pacific Rim politics.
With help from ex-sumo wrestler Sakaguchi, Hiroshi searches for the killer from back alley bars to government offices, through anti-nuke protests to military conspiracies. When two more bodies turn up, Hiroshi must choose between desire and duty, violence or procedure, before the killer silences his next victim.
The Moving Blade is the second in the Tokyo-based Detective Hiroshi series by award-winning author Michael Pronko.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Another great story of detective Hiroshi
Detective Hiroshi takes us for a full immersion to Tokyo . The plot is rather complex , but the different characters are nicely carved out and make the story progress nicely . I thoroughly the book enjoyed although i was hoping that more space is given to Hiroshi personal life, his demons and his memories.
And now on to the third episode of the serie.

A superb award-winning mystery, now as audiobook
The Moving Blade is the second book in the award-winning Detective Hiroshi series of Murder Mysteries set in Tokyo, Japan. As you may know, if you follow my blog, I am in love with this series, with its characters, and with the exotic location. Below you’ll find my short and spoiler free impressions about this great Thriller from one of my favorite authors.
Michael Pronko is a Professor of literature at a prestigious Tokyo university and he has been living in Japan for more than 20 years. I found his insights into the Japanese culture very interesting and it is evident how much he loves and respects their customs and beliefs.
All of the above are reflected once again in this well written story, making the experience richer and completely immersive for everyone. When a high-ranking US diplomat is found dead in Tokyo and the signs indicate that the causes weren’t natural, Detective Hiroshi Shimizu of the Tokyo Police Department is sent to investigate, but when he meets the victim’s young and beautiful daughter, the case gets even more interesting.
Filled with drama, murder, conspiracies, a bit of romance, police work and even occasional comedy to ease the tension, The Moving Blade is a roller coaster of adventures that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat from the first minute to the last.
Peter Berkrot returns once again to the Detective Hiroshi Series and delivers a flawless and pitch perfect performance. For those who don’t know, Peter is a multiple award-winning narrator and a respected member of the audiobooks community.
He has recorded over 500 audiobooks to date, and his experience and skills are put to good use for this challenging series. Peter manages to strike the perfect balance between the storyteller and the characters who live the adventures.
The entire Detective Hiroshi Series is narrated by Peter, so although I recommend The Moving Blade, I highly encourage you to pick up all the other audiobooks.
As you well know, I love Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch, and I find Michael Pronko‘s Detective Hiroshi the most relatable and similar character in literature.
So, if you are in the mood for a change of scenery from L.A. to Tokyo, and if you want to live new adventures, driven by great character development, a captivating plot and peppered with interesting facts about a different culture, youcan;t go wrong with The Moving Blade!
To put it simply, this is an award-winning novel written by a multiple award-winning author and narrated by a multiple award-winning voiceover artist!
I hope that you liked this review and will consider leaving a helpful vote below. Thank you for your time, take care, stay safe and happy listening!
