It is 2009 and Korea is playing Japan in the World Baseball Classic at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium, but a sportswriter is murdered before the first pitch is thrown. Delving into baseball and World War II, Edgar Award winner Hirahara's latest Mas Arai adventure (after Strawberry Yellow) delivers a distinct perspective on the long history between Japan and Korea.
