Singapore, 1942

Within the Lion City's seedy wards, where cutthroat gangs and villains thrive, DCI Montague Bythesea III pursues sinners who prey on others.
Bred in Tokyo, the nonconformist noble and sleuth devotes his life to Reiko, his adopted Nihonjin daughter. And to seeking justice for crime victims.
As the occupation dawns in WWII Singapore, the Japanese send for him - a Changi POW - to probe the suicide of a samurai's heir. Was it seppuku, a rite? Or a vile deed?
On his quest, he treads a path through the murky realm of veiled political sects, spies, and Yakuza thugs. The fatalities spike as his kisses with mortality push him towards facing his altered feelings. For Reiko.
Are his affections for the radiant kyūdōka depraved?
Will revealing his yen fracture their affinity?
And would he face execution as a traitor for aiding the enemy?
If he survives.
