A complete collection of all 15 short stories featuring the celebrated detective Haikara Ukyo, created by the distinctive Japanese mystery writer Jokichi Hikage. In early Meiji Japan, as the country is transformed by the waves of modernisation, Shinsaku Ukyo - better known as Haikara Ukyo - tackles a succession of difficult and often bizarre cases. Rumoured to be a former international spy, the enigmatic 'masked gentleman' cuts an unmistakable figure in Western dress, with bowler hat, needle-thin moustache, deerskin gloves and slender cane. Moving through a rapidly changing Japan where old customs meet unfamiliar Western influences, Ukyo uses his unconventional methods and powers of deduction to unravel crimes and mysteries involving illusionists, murderers, ghosts, alchemy, strange transformations, vampires and other seemingly inexplicable events. This edition brings together the complete Haikara Ukyo short-story cycle, combining classic detective fiction with the atmosphere and social upheaval of early Meiji Japan
