PRAISE FOR FIVE DECEMBERS BY JAMES KESTREL, FINALIST FOR THE EDGAR, HAMMETT AND BRAM STOKER AWARDS Five Decembers is absolutely terrific. I can't remember the last novel I read that was so beautifully immersive. A joy to read. Lou Berney Five Decembers is really excellent. A first-rate book. James Fallows A crime epic for the ages. Dennis Lehane What a story! Totally engrossing, beautifully written, sometimes shocking and very moving. Elly Griffiths Five Decembers is a masterpiece. You'll stay up all night with this one. It's unique and it's terrific. Eric Redman, author of The Dance of Legislation and Bones of Hilo Utterly enthralling. Wildly ambitious and deeply haunting, Five Decembers drops you in the middle of a dark noir dream full of heat, loss and memory. Not to be missed Megan Abbott James Kestrel evokes the Hawaii, the Hong Kong and the Tokyo of the 1940s with an urgency, a vividness--a passion--few of us can have met before. Read this book for its palpitating story, its perfect emotional and physical detailing and, most of all, for its unforgettable conjuring of a steamy quicksilver world that will be new to almost every reader. Pico Iyer ACCLAIM FOR THE AUTHOR'S EARLIER WORK: Suspense that never stops. James Patterson An electrifying read. Stephen King

Pico Iyer The definition of a page-turner... an emotionally charged crime novel shaped by the tragic years of a world at war, a story that is relentlessly hopeful in the face of unrequited devotion and doomed love. Every Read Thing Loved every page. A brilliant wartime noir that entangles you in a mystery while transporting you to a different age. Mason Cross I was completely blown away by Five Decembers. It is one of best novels I have read about the twilight days of empire, its protagonist getting caught up in the maelstrom of the British, Japanese and European empires dragging themselves into oblivion. Steven Powell What a wonderful book Five Decembers is! One of the best hardboiled mysteries I've read in years, and an epic war story and love story to boot. James Reasoner ACCLAIM FOR THE AUTHOR'S EARLIER WORK: Suspense that never stops. James Patterson An electrifying read. Stephen King
