Mystery Fiction
Geisha in Moonlight
A Tale of Love, Deception, and Murder in Old Edo
It was a balmy summer evening in 1850, and the moon was hanging low in the sky like a silver crescent. The city of Edo, Japan's bustling capital, was alive with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares, the clinking of wooden geta stepping on the stone-covered streets, and the gentle chanting of Buddhist monks in the nearby temples. Amidst this lively tapestry, a sense of unease hung in the air, like the soft whisper of a secret shared among friends.
