About Girl in a Box: A High-Stakes Tokyo Mystery Where Survival Means Outwitting a Determined Killer
Chronically underemployed Japanese-American sleuth Rei Shimura has taken a freelance gig with a Washington, D. C., alphabet agency that just might have ties to the CIA.
Her mission, should she choose to accept it, is to go undercover as a clerk in a big Tokyo department store. It's a risky assignment, but it also gives Rei a store discount that allows her to freely indulge her shopaholic tendencies. Meanwhile, she's listening in on private conversations, crashing a conference, and fending off the unwanted advances of a couple of the store's executives who seem fascinated by her navel ring.
When her cover is blown, Rei is in big trouble.
