A building full of secrets. A key that will unleash them all
The K Apartments for Ladies in Tokyo conceals a sinister past behind each door; a woman who has buried a child; a scavenger driven mad by ill-health; a wife mysteriously guarding her late husband's manuscripts; a talented violinist tortured by her own guilt. The master key, which opens the door to all 150 rooms, links their tangled stories. But now it has been stolen, and dirty tricks are afoot.
For a deadly secret lies buried beneath the building. And when it is revealed, there will be murder.
MASAKO TOGAWA(1931-2016) was one of Japan's foremost writers of crime fiction. Born in Tokyo, she worked as a cabaret performer before beginning to write crime fiction backstage, during her breaks. Her debut The Master Key won Japan's prestigious Edgowa Rampo Prize, and Togawa went on to become a hugely succesful author, while continuing to lead a colourful parallel life as a singer, actress, feminist, nightclub owner and gay icon. The Lady Killer is also available from Pushkin Vertigo.
