Beskrivning
'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.

Mer om författaren

Seicho Matsumoto was born in 1909 in Fukuoka, Japan. Self-educated, Matsumoto published his first book when he was forty years old and he quickly established himself as a master of crime fiction. His exploration of human psychology and Japanese post-war malaise, coupled with the creation of twisting, dark mysteries, made him one of the most acclaimed and best-selling writers in Japan. He received the prestigious Akutagawa Literary Prize in 1950 and the Kikuchi Kan Prize in 1970. He died in 1992. Jesse Kirkwood was awarded the Harvill Secker Young Translators’ Prize in 2020 and has translated the bestselling Tokyo Express by Seicho Matsumoto, A Perfect Day to Be Alone by Nanae Aoyama, The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai, and Sympathy Tower Tokyo by Rie Qudan.

    Seichō Matsumoto är en av världens bästa kriminalförfattare. Komplexitet, spänning, atmosfär; allt är av högsta klass hos Matsumoto. Stor lycka varje gång jag hittar en översättning till engelska av någon av hans böcker jag ännu inte har läst. Skulle önska det fanns fler översättningar till svenska också!
