The Lady Killer

A dizzying tale of lust, mystery, and murder?from a beloved Japanese crime fiction author and LGBT icon The Lady Killer leads a double life in Tokyo's shadowy underworld. By day, he is a devoted husband and hard worker; by night, he cruises cabaret bars and nightclubs in search of lonely single women to seduce. But now the hunter is being hunted, and in his wake lies a trail of gruesome murders. Who is the culprit? The answer lies tangled in a web of clues?and to find it, he must accept that nothing is what it seems. The Lady Killer pulls from author Masako Togawa?s vibrant personal life as a cabaret performer for Tokyo?s gay nightclub scene during the ?50s and ?60s. Throughout her writing career, Togawa continued to champion the LGBT community as a queer woman?sealing her reputation as one of Japan?s most prominent crime fiction authors and LGBT heroines.
