Akitada's Holiday

Murder doesn’t take holidays, and neither does Akitada.  In this small collection of three short stories, Akitada solves crimes on New Year’s Day, during the O-bon festival of the dead, and on the occasion of the Tanabata festival celebrating the meeting of celestial lovers.  As a bonus, a chapter describes the Kamo festival from RASHOMON GATE.  These exotic whodunits mix detection with the customs of a fascinating culture.
