No Index at rear.* On a week's vacation to the Inland Sea Island of Awaji, Japan's Superintendent Otani flashes back to a case of 20 years ago, when he was sent to assist Inspector Takada in solving the murder of freewheeling Mormon missionary Craig Kington, found dead at a Shinto shrine with a fox statue cradled in his arms. . . Typically, this tenth Otani case is more interesting for its cross-cultural atmospherics than for its mystery, though this one blends better than most. A NEAR VG+ copy with only light tanning to reduce it to VG.*
