Fourteen-year-old
Seikei becomes involved with a ninja who is a hired assassin, when he aids
Judge Ooka, his mentor and adopted father, in solving the murder of a samurai.
This fast-moving adventure is the third book in Hooblers' series about
Seikei, which is set in 18th century Japan.
It easily stands alone as a great story. Black-eyed
Susan Award nominee 2005-2006
