“The Unlikely Detective
and
Look Into My Eyes”
H. A. Bryant thrills again in Number 5 in the Matt Kelly series.
A Tokyo psychiatrist is the victim of a hit-and-run outside his office, and suspicion immediately falls on one of his patients, whom Hisashi Kimura must defend. The case takes a dangerous turn when evidence surfaces, connecting the deceased doctor to a top-secret government mind-control project.
​
A young man, the ideal subject for such manipulation, is programmed to assassinate the leading candidate for Japan's next prime minister. As the assassin closes in, other government agencies uncover the rogue program. Hisashi's client, the accused killer, appears to hold the key to unraveling the conspiracy.
​
But the assassin is programmed to eliminate any threat to himself or the project—a directive that includes Hisashi and his wife, Megumi.​
