Book excerpt: A master ninja and a Portuguese priest investigate the murder of a samurai in medieval Kyoto. May 1564: When a samurai is brutally murdered in a Kyoto teahouse, master ninja Hiro has no desire to get involved. But the beautiful entertainer accused of the crime enlists the help of Father Mateo, the Portuguese Jesuit Hiro is sworn to protect, leaving the master shinobi with just three days to find the killer in order to save the girl and the priest from execution. The investigation plunges Hiro and Father Mateo into the dangerous waters of Kyoto's floating world, where they learn that everyone from the elusive teahouse owner to the dead man's dishonored brother has a motive to keep the samurai's death a mystery. A rare murder weapon favored by ninja assassins, a female samurai warrior, and a hidden affair leave Hiro with too many suspects and far too little time. Worse, the ninja's investigation uncovers a host of secrets that threaten not only Father Mateo and the teahouse, but the very future of Japan.

Book excerpt: "Master ninja Hiro Hattori is trying to sleep when he has an unexpected visit from his friend Kazu, a fellow shinobi and member of the same ninja clan working undercover at the shogunate. Kazu says that Saburo, the Shogun's cousin, has been stabbed to death within the walls of the Shogun's palace with Kazu's dagger, and that though he is innocent, he fears he will be blamed for the murder. He begs Hiro's help in escaping the city. But before he can flee, Hiro and Father Mateo, the Jesuit priest under Hiro's protection, are summoned to the palace to aid in the investigation. There they learn of a plot to assassinate the Shogun and overthrow the ruling Ashikaga clan. With Lord Oda, a rival warlord, scheduled to arrive in Kyoto soon and the murderer poised to strike again, Hiro must use his assassin's skills to reveal the killer's identity and protect the Shogun. Kazu, trapped in the city, still will not admit where he was at the time of the murder, and this makes Hiro doubt his innocence. Other suspects include the maid who found the body, Saburo's wife, and the stable master. Unfortunately, the Shogun demands the murder solved before Lord Oda arrives, and if the murderer can't be brought to justice, Hiro and Father Mateo may have to die in his place. Blade of the Samurai is a complex mystery that will transport readers into 16th century Japan for a thrilling and unforgettable adventure"--

Born to a rich family, the boy, Nimchand alias Nimu, enjoyed a privileged childhood in a huge mansion. After a few years, he lost his father, and the status of the family fell from grace. Nimchand found himself thrown in rough waters in a country torn apart by the freedom movements and religious conflicts. Mother Sarojini, a fiercely strong-minded woman, steadfastly stood against all hostile situations they faced and tried hard with the courage to rebuild her shattered family. Nimu, too, had to struggle hard to survive and get an education. This engrossing family saga is steeped in many strange phenomena—eerily suspenseful and piercingly fearful—occurring in traditional domestic settings. This true story, deep-rooted in rural Bengal and enriched by its many festive occasions, is elegantly written with unscarred authenticity. A fascinating account of many characters with fine details is painstakingly and meticulously described in lucid prose with excellent narrative skill. In a world overstuffed with books of many kinds, the readers may find Roads of Uncertainty to be a welcoming exception and a pleasure to read.
