About this listen

1990: Tokyo

Grey Hutchins is in pursuit of an obsession. She is searching for a piece of film taken during the infamous Nanking massacre of 1937. Some say it never existed. Grey is certain that it does, and that it lies hidden—somewhere in Tokyo.

Alone in an alien city, Grey becomes a hostess in an exclusive club catering for Japanese businessmen—and gangsters. One gangster dominates—an old man in a wheelchair surrounded by a terrifying entourage—who is rumoured to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued health. It is an elixir that others want—at any price ...

Previously published as Tokyo, The Devil of Nanking is a literary thriller of the highest order. With its heady atmosphere of overt violence, lurking fear and sexual tension, this is a novel that takes hold of the listener and does not let go until its explosive final moments.

Unusual but clever, slowly revealed, story line. Complex characters. Finished at 03.00! What a remarkable mind Mo Hayder had, a sad loss to literature.

Eerily captivating.
