“Shitamachi Scam” (Detective Hiroshi Series Book 6) by the award-winning Michael Pronko, is the classic detective drama you’ve been waiting for. From the descriptive opening of the first chapter and throughout the rest of the novel, you will find yourself swept into the culture of Tokyo; traditional values and old ways vs. new realities and players, with characters so real you think they could step off the page. Detective Hiroshi Shimizu is an intriguing character who finds himself in a non-traditional environment. From a culture that has historically respected older generations, he must now navigate the opposite.
