Description
To translator Ruth Bennett, a dead woman covered only in complex kimono tattoos seems the perfect opening to a novel — until fiction mirrors fact and the murder becomes real. Racing along Kyoto’s scenic back alleys, Bennett draws on her eccentric knowledge and fluency in Japanese to decode the deadly secrets buried deep within the kimono ink. But the killer is watching, and the closer she comes to solving this mystery, the closer she is to becoming the next victim.

Advance Praise
"In a tale as intricately patterned as a Jacquard-weave obi, Rebecca Copeland's American heroine finds herself entangled in the delicate threads of Kyoto's kimono industry as well as the darker skeins of yakuza, tattoo parlors, and rebellious youth. The reader is quickly drawn in to the dangerous twists and turns while Copeland's detailed knowledge of Kyoto comes through on every page-a treat for all who love this city, and a great read."
—Liza Dalby, anthropologist, artist, and author of the best seller, Geisha; Kimono: Fashioning Culture; and the novels The Tale of Murasaki and Hidden Buddhas: A Novel of Karma and Chaos
"The Kimono Tattoo is an intelligent escape-into the past, into the mind, into a fascinating culture. Finely crafted and perfectly paced, this literary thriller remains engrossing long after the last sentence, opening a world that lingers in the imagination."
—Jeannette Cooperman, St. Louis Media Hall of Fame journalist, essayist, and author of A Circumstance of Blood
