But, although he’s determined to leave his past behind, murder still follows him. Having set up shop as a private investigator, Iwata is approached by someone from his old life. Her daughter has been killed and the case has gone cold. Out of loyalty, Iwata agrees to take on the case and reinvestigate the homicide. However, what seems initially like a cold-blooded but simple murder takes a complex turn when a witness, a vagrant, recalls the killer's parting words: “I’m sorry.” From the depths of Skid Row to the fatal expanse of the Sonoran Desert, Iwata tracks the disparate pieces of a mysterious and heartbreaking puzzle. But the more he unearths, the more complex this simple act of murder becomes. Lives untangle, fates converge, and blood is spilled as Inspector Iwata returns.

Blue Light Yokohama: a Crime Novel [(inspector Iwata, 1) [signed Copy, First American Printing] [first edition]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 44.95 $Newly reinstated to the Homicide Division and transferred to a precinct in Tokyo, Inspector Iwata is facing superiors who don't want him there and is assigned a recalcitrant partner, Noriko Sakai, who'd rather work with anyone else. After the previous detective working the case killed himself, Iwata and Sakai are assigned to investigate the slaughter of an entire family, a brutal murder with no clear motive or suspect. At the crime scene, they find puzzling ritualistic details. Black smudges. A strange incense smell. And a symbol―a large black sun. Iwata doesn't know what the symbol means but he can hear it whispering to him: I am here. I am not finished. As Iwata investigates, it becomes clear that these murders by the Black Sun Killer are not the first, nor the last attached to that symbol. As he tries to track down the history of black sun symbol, puzzle out the motive for the crime, and connect this to other murders, Iwata finds himself racing another clock―the superiors who are trying to have him removed for good. Haunted by his own past, his inability to sleep, and a song, 'Blue Light Yokohama,' Iwata is at the center of a compelling, brilliantly moody, layered novel sure to be one of the most talked about debuts in 2017.

La luz azul de Yokohama
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 21.94 $Recién destinado a la Unidad de Homicidios de la Policía Metropolitana de Tokio, el inspector Kosuke Iwata se hace cargo de un caso tan desconcertante como complejo: una familia de cuatro miembros ha sido asesinada en su propia casa por alguien que ha dejado deliberadamente unas cuantas pistas para los investigadores, antes de marcharse con toda tranquilidad unas horas más tarde a plena luz del día. Iwata, que cuenta con la ayuda de la inspectora Sakai, no deja de preguntarse qué ocurrió en la vida de esa familia en apariencia feliz para acabar de un modo tan trágico y qué llevó al anterior investigador del caso a suicidarse desde el emblemático Puente del Arcoíris al poco de empezar las pesquisas. En el escenario del crimen, la única pista que Iwata y Sakai encuentran es el dibujo de un escalofriante sol negro grabado en el techo de la habitación. El inspector aún no ha podido desentrañar el significado de ese dibujo, pero el mensaje del asesino está muy claro: «Estoy aquí. No he terminado.» Convencido de que la búsqueda del autor del crimen no ha hecho más que empezar, que hay mucho más detrás de ese baño de sangre y que el asesino volverá a matar, Iwata hará todo lo posible para dilucidar el misterio antes de que lo aparten del caso. Asediado de noche por escabrosas pesadillas y por la letra de una canción, Iwata se sumergirá en los bajos fondos de la ciudad y sus mundos ocultos, en un asombroso esfuerzo para llegar antes que el asesino hasta la próxima víctima. / Reinstated to the Homicide Division and transferred to Tokyo, Inspector Iwata is facing superiors who don't want him there and a recalcitrant partner, Noriko Sakai. After the previous detective working the case killed himself, Iwata and Sakai are assigned to investigate the slaughter of an entire family.

Planted in Good Soil: A History of the Issei in United States Agriculture (American University Studies)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 274.15 $The Association for Asian American Studies has awarded Masakazu Iwata the 1993 National Book Award for Lifetime Scholarship for this book. Based upon numerous interviews on site as well as English and Japanese documents, the book is a narrative history of the Japanese migrants and, specifically, their experiences as immigrants to the continental United States in the late 19th and the 20th centuries. The focus is upon the Issei, the first generation Japanese in America, who upon arrival entered the fishing, timber, mining, and railroad industries in the American West but shortly left the ranks of labor to become independent farm operators, mainly in the various states west of the Missouri River. It broadly delineates the socio-economic milieu of the times and depicts the arduous, agonizing ascendancy of the Issei up the agricultural ladder in the various regions of settlement, while dealing with their successes and failures as well as general contributions made in their adopted land prior to 1941.

Impeded by corrupt fellow officers and haunted by a past he can't escape, Iwata knows time is running out. Before he's taken off the case, or, far worse, the killer strikes again.

S Is for Steampunk
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 29.34 $Every family needs an alphabet book. That's a given. Nat Iwata has been doing steampunk art for several years in the video game industry, and now he has illustrated a visually compelling, fun-for-all-ages Steampunk Alphabet book that is approachable both to fans and those unfamiliar with Steampunk. In light of that, while all of the illustrations are total Steampunk, the opening 'letter sentence' for each page is a familiar word. For example "A is for Apple." The idea of taking everyday ordinary things and reimagining them as Steampunk is sure to be a crowd pleaser, and especially appeal to all of the hipster parents. The second part of each page is a description of the object as set in the Steampunk world. This portion will be more enjoyable to older kids and adults to enjoy, while the book could be read entirely with just the 'letter sentences' for younger readers.
