Comics and college kids collide in Rei Shimura's fourth Tokyo mystery. Rei, a young American antiques dealer, thinks that writing a magazine column on the history of comic books will boost her business. During a weekend at her boyfriend Takeo's beachhouse, she fixes on the perfect subject: an exquisite modern comic that reeals the disturbing social milieu of pre-World War II Japan. But when one of the comic's young creators is killed, Rei is drawn into Japan's youth underground. She floats through strip clubs, anime shops and coffee houses, and ultimately, into the Pacific Ocean. But will she get her story before the kiler pulls her under?

An edgy, sexy mystery with a strong undercurrent of humor, The Floating Girl earned rave reviews and an Agatha nomination for the Best Mystery of 2000 when it was first published.
