It's a trip he was supposed to take with his girlfriend Sara. In preparation for his final voyage, Jonathan enrolls in a Japanese language class where he meets Riko.

For those looking for the real story behind the fictionalized movie account of the 47 Ronin story, this is the definitive, fascinating account of this unforgettable tale of a band of samurai who defied the Emperor to avenge the disgrace and death of their master, and faced certain death as a result. It led to one of the bloodiest episodes in Japanese history, and in the process, created a new set of heroes in Japan.

This novel centers on the "It's me" telephone scam - often targeting the elderly - that has escalated in Japan in recent years. Typically, the caller identifies himself only by saying, "Hey, it's me", and goes on to claim in great distress that he's been in an accident or lost some money with which he was entrusted at work, etc., and needs funds wired to his account right away. ME's narrator is a nondescript young Tokyoite named Hitoshi Nagano.

His relationship with his wife Reiko is in tatters, and a bizarre new alliance between his two enemies Yanagisawa and Lord Ienobu has left him puzzled and wary.

Menshiki gibt ein zweites Bild in Auftrag: Der junge Maler soll die 13-jährige Marie porträtieren. Das Mädchen, so glaubt Menshiki, könnte seine Tochter sein. Während der Sitzungen entwickelt sich allmählich ein vertrautes Verhältnis zwischen dem Ich-Erzähler und seinem Modell. Marie ist eine aufmerksame Beobachterin, und so hat sie vieles, was sich rund um das Haus des Malers abspielt, bemerkt. Eines Tages ist Marie verschwunden. Der Ich-Erzähler ist überzeugt davon, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt zwischen ihrem Verschwinden und dem Gemälde "Die Ermordung des Commendatore".
