Parker's latest mystery set in ancient Japan, a cold and hostile land pits Akitada against his deadliest foe yet\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e I. J. Parker's engrossing historical novels bring eleventh-century Japan to life in all its colorful, treacherous glory. As \u003ci\u003eBlack Arrow\u003c\/i\u003e opens, Sugawara Akitada assumes his new post as provisional governor of Echigo, a frigid province in the far north notorious for its hostility to outsiders. But the snow that threatens to completely isolate the region is the least of his problems-which include a local uprising, a series of brutal murders, and a mystery that's as old as the frozen hills and a lot more dangerous. Superbly written and rich in period detail, \u003ci\u003eBlack Arrow\u003c\/i\u003e is another bravura performance from a master of the historical thriller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143035619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.76h x 5.10w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2006 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2006 pg. 1048\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2006 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"I.
