"I'm dead," Tippi Mulgrew groaned. Violet rushed down the hall. Instead of laughing and the clicking of mahjong tiles, she heard hacking coughs and moans coming from the tournament room. She froze. It looked like a scene from a Hollywood disaster movie... Welcome to Goose Down, Ohio. It's the Goose Down Senior Citizens' Mahjong Tournament and the words, "I'm dead" take on a whole new meaning when the friendly-and not so friendly-competition is brought to a dead stop. For the second time in as many years, Sheriff Grange and his small department of law enforcement are searching for a killer, dodging red herrings, real estate developers and a nefarious family of misfits. With Tippi Mulgrew, Hank Klaber and others, the Bingo gang is back for some dastardly fun in Mahjong Is Murder.

The quintessential international genre, detective fiction often works under the guise of popular entertainment to expose its extensive readership to complex moral questions and timely ethical dilemmas. The first book-length study of Japan’s detective fiction, Murder Most Modern considers the important role of detective fiction in defining the country’s emergence as a modern nation-state. Kawana explores the interactions between the popular genre and broader discourses of modernity, nation, and ethics that circulated at this pivotal moment in Japanese history. The author contrasts Japanese works by Edogawa Ranpo, Unno Juza, Oguri Mushitaro, and others with English-language works by Edgar Allan Poe, Dashiell Hammett, and Agatha Christie to show how Japanese writers of detective fiction used the genre to disseminate their ideas on some of the most startling aspects of modern life: the growth of urbanization, the protection and violation of privacy, the criminalization of abnormal sexuality, the dehumanization of scientific research, and the horrors of total war. Kawana’s comparative approach reveals how Japanese authors of the genre emphasized the vital social issues that captured the attention of thrill-seeking readers-while eluding the eyes of government censors. Sari Kawana is assistant professor of Japanese at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

For nearly forty years I have been chasing this object of love, Syriac manuscripts, because for me this is the most engaging way to enter into the romance and experience the source of love itself: God in the form of Jesus the Messiah. It is not for everyone. In fact it is a path for very few. It is a lot of hard work learning the languages and traveling to and living in to remote and difficult places in search of these manuscripts.
