Sinopsis de BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA

Inspired by the still unsolved murder of a Japanese family in 2000, Blue Light Yokohama is 2017's most original and gripping crime debut ...Setagaya ward, Tokyo Inspector Kosuke Iwata, newly transferred to Tokyo's homicide department, is assigned a new partner and a secondhand case. Blunt, hard as nails and shunned by her colleagues, Assistant Inspector Noriko Sakai is a partner Iwata decides it would be unwise to cross. A case that's complicated - a family of four murdered in their own home by a killer who then ate ice cream, surfed the web and painted a hideous black sun on the bedroom ceiling before he left in broad daylight. A case that so haunted the original investigator that he threw himself off the city's famous Rainbow Bridge. Carrying his own secret torment, Iwata is no stranger to pain. He senses the trauma behind the killer's brutal actions. Yet his progress is thwarted in the unlikeliest of places. Fearing corruption among his fellow officers, tracking a killer he's sure is only just beginning and trying to put his own shattered life back together, Iwata knows time is running out before he's taken off the case or there are more killings ...Blue Light Yokohama is crime fiction at its very best - gripping, haunting, atmospheric and utterly captivating.'With a labyrinthine plot and a likable protagonist, Blue Light Yokohama is a strong beginning to what promises to be an excellent series' The Guardian 'Outstanding' Sunday Express 'Taut and atmospheric with twists galore' Woman & Home 'Tantalising. An intricately constructed whodunit' Publisher's Weekly 'Obregon is a bright, sophisticated new voice in crime fiction: his writing sings at you, reverberates, makes you consider more than just the urgent clamour of his novel's well-hewn murder plot. In Inspector Iwata, he has created a quiet, troubled hero whom readers will be sure to follow from one disturbing, atmospheric story to the next' Benjamin Wood, author of The Ecliptic 'Refreshing' 'Engaging' Daily Mail 'Obregon balances the key components of modern detective fiction seamlessly...Blue Light Yokohama is nicely done for a first book; it's nicely done, period' Bookpage

Nicolás Obregón nació en Gran Bretaña, de padre español y madre francesa, y creció entre Londres, donde se graduó en el Birkbeck Creative Writing Masters, y Madrid. Como escritor de viajes, tiene un amplio conocimiento de Japón, pero el comienzo de su fascinación con ese país nació con los dibujos animados de su infancia. El germen de La luz azul de Yokohama es un caso verídico que, casi dos décadas después de los hechos, sigue sin resolverse.
