Tokyo by Mo Hayder

'A real page-turner, full of suspense, with a terrifying, gritty edge that turns the blood cold.' 
MINETTE WALTERS

Grey has a lot to prove and even more to hide. Obsessed with a past she cannot understand, she comes to Tokyo seeking a rare piece of film footage that has been lost for decades. Showing a specific incident, it was taken during the notorious Nanking Massacre in 1937. Some say the film never existed.

Only one man can help Grey. A survivor of the massacre, he is now a visiting professor at the prestigious university of Todai in Tokyo. Immersed in his textbooks and wary of strangers, he will at first have nothing to do with her.

Increasingly desperate in an alien city where she knows no one, Grey accepts a job as a hostess in an upmarket nightspot catering for Japanese businessmen and wealthy gangsters. One gangster dominates. An old man in a wheelchair guarded by a terrifying entourage, he is rumoured to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued health. It is an elixir that others want for themselves - at any price . . .
