The Little Tokyo Informant: A Novel
()
About this ebook
Autumn, 1941. Special Agent Jimmy Nessheim is in Hollywood for two reasons: to consult on a movie being made about the Bureau, and to investigate a suspicious Russian payment to a Japanese bank. Jimmy taps his trusted informant, Billy Osaka, to look into the matter. But when Billy disappears, Jimmy’s California vacation turns into a dangerous chase with no time to lose.
His frantic search takes him through the dangerous streets of Little Tokyo and into a risky undercover gambit in Hawaii, just hours before the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The Little Tokyo Informant is another well-researched historical thriller from “a stirring successor to Frederick Forsyth” (The Independent).
“Rosenheim is even better this time out at melding interesting leads with a thrilling story line and vivid descriptions of such locales as L.A.’s Little Tokyo.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The ghosts of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler loom large.” —Kirkus Reviews
