Description
An American is murdered in one of Tokyo’s hotels. The evidence found at the crime scene leads Detective Munesue to New York, where Detective Sheften joins him. The mystery of this crime is hidden in the distant postwar past, when Japan, defeated in World War II, was occupied by American forces…

Seiichi Morimura, author of the novel «The Teddy Bear» (1975), is a comparatively young writer, but over the past several years he has become the author of some of the most widely read detective novels in Japan. Seiichi Morimura was born in 1933 in Saitama Prefecture. After graduating from university, he spent about ten years connected with the hotel business. Morimura gained literary fame in 1969, when his novel «Dead Space at Altitude» received the Edogawa Rampo Prize. Since then, over the course of ten years, he has published more than two dozen books. The writer’s popularity is enormous. Television and film adaptations are made from his works, and his books sell in the hundreds of thousands of copies. Apparently, the secret of Seiichi Morimura’s popularity lies in his ability to combine the elements of the social detective novel with the canons of the classic detective story.
