About the Author
Native of Fukuoka Prefecture and prolific writer of socially oriented detective and mystery fiction, Matsumoto debuted as a writer after reaching the age of forty with the historically based Saigo Takamori Chits, 1950, and The Legend of the Kokura Diary, 1952. He then went on to establish his unique style of detective fiction with the works The Walls Have Eyes, 1957, and Points and Lines, 1958. Matsumoto made a name for himself as the writer of suspense novels that were accesible to all kinds of readership, but it was his historical novel The Ogura Diary Chronicles that earned him The 28th Akutagawa Prize, the Japanese equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. The popular Japanese TV show "Black Leather Notebook" was based on his novel of the same name, and several of his detective fiction works have been published in the US (SoHo Crime and Kodansha International).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed/1st printing. This book is square, solid, and plausibly unread, although it bears a slight degree of lean to the spine and faint evidence of handling to the sides of the pages; the boards are solid and unblemished, and the dust jacket is sharp and glossy with just a bit of edge wear and an old closed tear to the top edge of the back cover; it's in a protective Brodart. No price clippings, no remainder marks. You'll be so thrilled with this book upon its arrival you'll hop, skip, and do the pogo with wild abandon upon its arrival!. Seller Inventory # 036375
