Mo Hayder - Tokyo
Mo Hejder - Tokio
Tokyo is a 2004 novel by British crime writer Mo Hayder. It was short-listed for the Crime Writers` Association Gold Dagger award, as well as several others. (For the US market, the title was changed to The Devil of Nanking, which had been Hayder`s working-title for the book.) Tokyo was reviewed by the internationally read UK newspaper, The Guardian as well as by Kirkus Reviews under its US title.
The story is about a young woman (nicknamed `Grey` by a fellow mental hospital patient) who is obsessed with the 1937 Japanese invasion of Nanjing (Nanking), which resulted in the Rape of Nanjing. She travels to Japan in order to find a professor said to have rare footage of the massacre detailing an event that she could not otherwise prove occurred. The professor decides that he will only show her the tape if she was to procure an unknown ingredient of Chinese medicine from the local yakuza group. After being recruited into a host club, Grey finds her chance.
