'A Japan that never existed, a lost future, ghosts that are not truly gone... A mere list of ingredients cannot capture the essence of this amazing book... A suspenseful story that defies time' ROBIN HOBB

For Thaniel Steepleton, a sudden assignment to Tokyo couldn't have come at a better time. The fog in London had made him sick, and the doctor's advice was to leave.

His mission is peculiar: the employees at the British Legation claim to have seen ghosts, and his initial task is to uncover the truth behind these sightings. However, during his stay with his friend Keita Mori in Yokohama, Thaniel himself starts witnessing supernatural occurrences. Mori, for undisclosed reasons, is terrified. And then he disappears.

Meanwhile, an unusual event is unfolding in a frigid labor camp in northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an acquaintance of Mori's, is tasked with investigating.

As apparitions manifest throughout Tokyo and the weather takes a bizarre turn, Thaniel becomes convinced that Mori's vanishing act is somehow linked to it all - and that Mori may be in much greater danger than initially perceived.
