**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 reader and **does not let go until its explosive final pages**.
