Description
Japan, 1703. On a snowy night, 47 warriors murder the man at the center of the scandal that turned them from samurai into masterless ronin two years before. Clearly this was an act of revenge--but why did they wait so long? And is there any reason they should not immediately be ordered to commit ritual suicide?
Sano Ichiro, demoted from Chamberlain to his old post as Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People, has mere days to solve the greatest mystery of samurai legend--while his own fortunes hang in the balance.

I really really enjoyed this case, there were books in this series that i read and thought i would be done with this and not come back but i always do,because even if the cases are not brilliant/interesting all the time, the setting and characters always are. In this book the case IS interesting though so i enjoyed it even more. The only thing that somehow got old a bit is how Sano ALWAYS has to be worried about how the case might end his career because Yanagisawa is ALWAYS trying to bring him down and finds a way to have the Shogun on his side. At one point i would have liked a different 'enemy' for Sano to make things a bit more interesting/different. (This was also one of the first books that i read on my new kindle, yay)
