About this product
Product Information
August 1565: When a rival artisan turns up dead outside Ginjiro's brewery, and all the evidence implicates the brewer, master ninja Hiro Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo must find the killer before the magistrate executes Ginjiro and seizes the brewery, leaving his wife and daughter destitute. A missing merchant, a vicious debt collector, and a female moneylender join Ginjiro and the victim's spendthrift son on the suspect list. But with Kyoto on alert in the wake of the shogun's recent death, a rival shinobi on the prowl, and samurai threatening Hiro and Father Mateo at every turn, Ginjiro's life is not the only one in danger. Will Hiro and Father Mateo unravel the clues in time to save Ginjiro's life, or will the shadows gathering over Kyoto consume the detectives as well as the brewer? Flask of the Drunken Master is the latest entry in Susan Spann's thrilling 16th century Japanese mystery series, featuring ninja detective Hiro Hattori and Jesuit Father Mateo.

Reviews
Laura Joh Rowland fans will like this book for the time period, but the 'buddy tone' is reminiscent of Ian Morson's 'Nick Zuliani' series and Gary Corby's 'Athenian Mysteries' series., Praise for Blade of the Samurai : "An outstanding historical mystery set in Japan during the shogunateĆ¢ā¬Ā¦What adds to the enjoyment of the history is a most elegant mystery that grows out of the politics of the timeĆ¢ā¬Ā¦ All this is told in stripped down prose as we edge carefully through the thickets of confusion and emerge on to the plain of revelation as the killer is unmasked and uncertainty over the threat to the shogun is resolved. "- San Francisco Book Review "The second Hiro Hattori mystery (after 2013's Claws of the Cat ) finds the sixteenth-century ninja-and unofficial investigator-presented with an interesting problemĆ¢ā¬Ā¦A strong second entry in a very promising series."- Booklist "Hiro and Father Mateo's second adventure (Claws of the Cat , 2013) combines enlightenment on 16th-century Japanese life with a sharp and well-integrated mystery."- Kirkus Reveiws "After her exciting historical mystery debut, Claws of the Cat , Spann proves she has the touch in her sophomore entry. The deceptively simple prose educates readers about 16th-century Japan, while the well-plotted story moves at ninja speed. The endearing characters fight to defend honor and truth, giving this strong YA appeal."- Library Journal Praise for Claws of the Cat: "Laura Joh Rowland fans will like this book for the time period, but the 'buddy tone' is reminiscent of Ian Morson's 'Nick Zuliani' series and Gary Corby's 'Athenian Mysteries' series."- Library Journal (starred review, mystery debut of the month) "This well-written debut mystery set in 16th-century Japan offers a glimpse into a little-known society as well as a brain-teasing puzzle....The bulk of the book is a fascinating description of how [Hiro] teases clues out of conversations and balances the requirements of his assignment with the demands of the samurai lifestyle. One can only hope this Northern California author brings Hiro back in another adventure."- San Jose Mercury News "Spann matches period detail with a well-developed whodunit plot in her promising debut, the first in a new series set in 16th-century Japan."- Publishers Weekly, "Spann's third historical set in 16th-century Japan (after Blade of the Samurai)offers an accessible entry into the country's fascinating history and culture. Now that Laura Joh Rowland has finished the "Sano Ichiro" series, Spann's mysteries, as well as the excellent historicals of Dale Furutani and I.J. Parker, will fill the gap. An added draw are Hiro and Father Mateo, who make a remarkable crime-solving team." -- Library Journal "An outstanding historical mystery set in Japan during the shogunate...What adds to the enjoyment of the history is a most elegant mystery that grows out of the politics of the time...
