A propos de cet article

Paperback. This is the second installment in a story of struggles between ronin and followers of the Edo shogun. It's an action-packed work of historical fictional about masterless warriors, police detectives, and undercover agents in Kyoto, Japan's old capital, during the early Edo period. In the late summer of 1654, the streets of Kyoto are flooded with the masterless warriors known as ronin. Unable to find work and dissatisfied with their lot, some ronin have chosen to live as outlaws. The most notorious of the bunch is the young and murderous Ishida Kurobei, self-styled Shining Blade. For weeks, undercover government agents led by Deputy Inspector Tanaka had been tracking Kurobei. Finally, they'd cornered him, and, in the struggle that ensued, a female agent had landed a crippling blow to the head of the ronin before collapsing herself. Tanaka had discovered the wounded Kurobei lying alongside the lifeless body of his female agent. Wasting no time, the deputy inspector had arrested the unconscious Kurobei and had delivered him in shackles to the guarded emergency clinic at Second Street Castle.The following morning, and the deputy inspector is summoned to the office of Magistrate Gomi, his boss's superior. Gomi informs him that Kurobei had regained consciousness overnight and, with outside help, had escaped. In the absence of Tanaka's immediate superior-Commissioner Wada, who is away on business-the magistrate charges Tanaka with capturing the criminal once again.Shimada Goro, a senior ronin who formerly had served Kurobei's father, now deceased, goes looking for Kurobei and finds the fugitive in the abandoned barn where ronin recruits have learning to fight. Goro attempts to dissuade Kurobei from his murderous intention to lead a ronin uprising, arguing that Kurobei's wrath serves no purpose.Meanwhile, a young firewood carrier named Aki is determined to figure out what's going on in her world. Intrepid and curious by nature, Aki has many questions. For one, she wonders why her teacher, the nun Bunkai, is so concerned about the simple task she asks Aki to perform, carrying secret letters in the bundles of kindling that she delivers around town. Bunkai has cautioned Aki, explaining that the task might put her in harm's way. When Aki tells the nun that she sympathizes with the masterless warriors, Bunkai warns Aki about the ronin, saying that they cause troubles across the realm and that the Edo shogunal government protects the people from violent warriors with no master. Aki responds, expressing sympathy for ronin who face hardships and restrictions imposed by the shogun and his Edo officials. What Aki will soon learn is that Shining Blade is quite close and her deliveries put her in danger. This is the second installment in a story with crime, adventure, spies, and masterless warriors.
