About this listen
Brought to you be Penguin.
'Masterpiece' - Jeffery Deaver
He is a completely unremarkable man.
Who wears the same black suit every day.
Boards the same train to work each morning.
And arrives home to his wife and son each night.
But he has a secret.
He likes to kill people.
With just weeks to go before the Olympics and the world's eyes firmly fixed on Tokyo the body of young British student, Skye Mackintosh, is discovered in a love hotel.
Tokyo's Homicide Department are desperate for a lead. As a last resort they enlist the help of a brilliant former detective whose haunted personal life has forced him into exile thousands of miles away.
But it isn't long before Kosuke Iwata discovers the darkness in the neon drenched streets as Skye, like so many others, had her own secrets.
Lies and murder haunt a city where old ghosts and new whisper from its darkest of corners and the truth is always just out of sight
Praise for Nicolás Obregón:
'I'm awestruck' - A. J. Finn
'A dark, brutal ride' - Anthony Horowitz

Critic reviews
Harrowing and gripping. An astute police procedural . . . Switching between LA, Mexico and Tokyo both Iwata's present and past are cleverly interwoven in a truly heart-rending climax
Sins as Scarlet is a searing LA crime story, as poetic as it is brutal, as tender as it is disturbing
Thanks to the excellent Iwata, you get a gripping mystery with a real conscience
In the heady tradition of Raymond Chandler and Michael Connelly, Sins as Scarlet lays bare the bruised heart and broken soul of Los Angeles. Extraordinary stuff: a diabolically clever police procedural, a wrenching character study, and a merciless chronicle of a city in decay. I'm awestruck.
(A. J. Finn, author of international bestseller)To the author - I did try to continue reading your ‘creation’ .. but..
have to ask .. “ where on earth did such depravity come from”?? I didn’t finish the book, but as an avid reader all my 70+yrs life - I ALWAYS finish a book regardless of its effects, but this was too much!
We have a responsibility to ourselves to screen what we put into our minds, & I chose to stop listening. As Anthony Horowitz described it - it is a dark brutal ride.... too brutal for me. ... & The Times said .. “Not for the faint hearted” ..... beyond evil.
As an avid reader, an awful experience .....
