Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Masao Masuto is a Nisei detective on the Beverly Hills police force — a cultured stranger in an even stranger land of traffic-clogged freeways, artery-clogging fast food...and brutal murders. Here, collected for the first time, are the two adventures that launched the popular crime-fiction series created by Howard Fast: In "Samantha," a Hollywood film producer has been murdered — the first in a series of violent deaths perpetrated by a killer calling herself "Samantha." Masuto must race the clock to stop her before more blood is shed. In "The Case of the One-Penny Orange," a noted stamp dealer and his assistant are murdered, and the one clue that could bring a killer to justice is an 1847 postage stamp from the island of Mauritius — one of the rarest, most famous stamps in the world.
