In the wake of a deadly disaster, a killer seizes a perfect opportunity to commit the perfect crime...
As the dust settles after an earthquake strikes Tokyo, it's discovered that the reason the Tabata Shrine's head priest was late to perform a wedding is because he was dead. Detective Kenji Nakamura is assigned to investigate, but although all clues point to one of Japan's most idolized pop stars as the prime suspect, he knows that's impossible--the idol and her band were swept away in the tsunami following the quake.
Meanwhile, part-time English translator Yumi Hata discovers a shocking truth about the dead idol. As mourning fans whip themselves into a media frenzy, can she and Kenji track down the killer who's desperate to protect the secret that will rock the Japanese entertainment industry more powerfully than any earthquake?
Like the other books in the intriguing Only in Tokyo mystery series,Idolmaker takes you behind closed doors into corners of Japan where few foreigners dare to go, and introduces you to fascinating characters you won't soon forget.
