________
He is a completely unremarkable man.
Who wears the same black suit every day.
Boards the same train to work each morning.
And arrives home to his wife and son each night.
But he has a secret.
He likes to kill people.
________
Exiled detective Kosuke Iwata is asked back to the neon-drenched streets of Tokyo.
An English exchange student has been murdered, the Olympics are just days away and those high up want this case closed fast.
But Kosuke Iwata is not a man to be hurried. What he doesn't realise is that out there is a killer so apparently unremarkable he's impossible to find . . .

Japan-set
noir
doesn't
get
any
darker
or
more
twisted
than
this
The plotting is impressively done. It's a brilliant novel and a fitting end to a brilliant trilogy
Obregón isthe most atmospheric of writersand evokes local landscapes and moods with diamond-like as well as dreamy precision and the three simultaneous plots advance withclockwork-like and relentless efficiencyand won't allow the reader a moment's respite.A stunning achievementthat should raise the author's profile to crime's Premier league or there is no justice in this world
An outstanding novel from start to finish, possibly the best book I've read this year. An entrancing thriller that lures you into the dark secrets of the neon streets of Tokyo. Riveting
Praise for Nicolás Obregón
Harrowing and gripping. An astute police procedural. . . Switching between LA, Mexico and Tokyo both Iwata's present and past are cleverly interwoven ina truly heart-rending climax
Fresh and convincing . . . the dialogue is worthy of the great chronicler of LA's dark side, Raymond Chandler.But really, Obregon's writing hasa unique flavour all of its own, wherever his books are set
Sins as Scarletis a searing LA crime story, as poetic as it is brutal, as tender as it is disturbing
Thanks to the excellent Iwata, you get a gripping mystery with a real conscience
In the heady tradition of Raymond Chandler and Michael Connelly, Sins as Scarlet lays bare the bruised heart and broken soul of Los Angeles. Extraordinary stuff: a diabolically clever police procedural, a wrenching character study, and a merciless chronicle of a city in decay.I'm awestruck.
A dark, brutal ride through the underbelly of LA
Masterpiece- that's the only way to describeSins as Scarlet. Obregón's brilliant novel is, at once,a classic noir, a psychological thriller and a riveting examination-sometimes dark, sometime moving to the point of tears--of life in a less-than-angelic Los Angeles
Evocative, perceptive writing
This bleak, richly descriptive and haunting thriller walks of the wild side of Los Angeles
A brace of cutting-edge themes are threaded into the abrasive narrative . . . It is a combustible mix, but as in the earlierBlue Light Yokohama, the author has the full measure of his difficult material. With his vividly evoked Mexican and LA settings [he] delivers apacey, page-turning thriller,but the underlying seriousness gives real texture. Iwata is a richly drawn, conflicted hero, and this is another savage journey into the dark heart of America
Obregón keeps the unpredictable plot ofSins As Scarletchurning withmyriad surprises that are grounded in believability
