You will love reading it, and you will not soon forget the experience.\"--Harlan Coben \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrey has a lot to prove and even more to hide. A young Englishwoman obsessed with a past she cannot understand, she has come to Tokyo following rumors of a rare piece of film footage shot during the notorious Nanking Massacre in 1937, which has been lost for decades. But the only man who can help, a survivor of the massacre and now a visiting professor at a prestigious Tokyo university, will have nothing to do with her. Increasingly desperate in an alien city, Grey accepts a job as a hostess in an upmarket nightspot catering to Japanese businessmen and wealthy yakuza, where one gangster--an old man in a wheelchair surrounded by a terrifying entourage, rumored to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued health--might be the key to the answers Grey seeks. Taut and gritty, with the redolent atmosphere of Ian Rankin and the spine-tingling characters of Thomas Harris, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil of Nanking\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force that confirms Mo Hayder as a thriller writer of the first order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Wrenching . . .
