Synopsis

Tokyo. 2020.

As Japan prepares to host the Olympic Games an English exchange student is found bludgeoned to death in a love hotel. She lies in an empty room with only a dead spider for morbid company. Could this be a calling card from her killer?

The world's eyes are on Tokyo's Homicide department who are so desperate that the Commissioner picks up the phone and calls his old protege, Kosuke Iwata. A brilliant detective whose haunted personal life has forced him into exile thousands of miles away.

Iwata wants no part in an investigation that means stepping back into a past he had no intention of revisiting. Until he is is given an offer he can't refuse.

Black Suit City is a novel of lies, power and secrets. As Iwata attempts to uncover a city's darkest secrets he encounters old ghosts and new whispering from its hidden corners.

Media Reviews
Praise for Sins As Scarlet * - *

A dark, brutal ride through the underbelly of LA

* Anthony Horowitz *

Masterpiece - that's the only way to describe Sins as Scarlet. Obregon's brilliant novel is, at once, a classic noir, a psychological thriller and a riveting examination-sometimes dark, sometime moving to the point of tears--of life in a less-than-angelic Los Angeles

* Jeffery Deaver *
Fresh and convincing . . . the dialogue is worthy of the great chronicler of LA's dark side, Raymond Chandler. But really, Obregon's writing has a unique flavour all of its own, wherever his books are set -- Jake Kerridge * Sunday Express *

In the heady tradition of Raymond Chandler and Michael Connelly, Sins as Scarlet lays bare the bruised heart and broken soul of Los Angeles. Extraordinary stuff: a diabolically clever police procedural, a wrenching character study, and a merciless chronicle of a city in decay. I'm awestruck.
