Here’s the set-up:

Bad things keep happening to Tim Harrison lately…

Tim’s mundane life as an English teacher in Japan turns upside down when he is coerced by Tokyo cops into spying on a student for them.

It doesn’t help matters when he is seduced and then is sexually compromised. Yet this is only the beginning of his troubles.

For he stumbles upon a scandal of such international import it will shame and humiliate Japan in the eyes of the world—if exposed. Except that is something the yakuza are not going to let happen. At any cost.

Tim has to flee for his life.

Killing Time in Tokyo starts as a slow-burn crime thriller. Then, as the suspense and noir builds, it ignites into a blistering page-turner that pulls you down with unexpected twists and turns into Japan’s broiling underworld.

Dear reader, you may think you know what’s going on. But, like Tim, don’t bet your life on it.

Note that the story contains occasional earthy language and descriptions of sex and violence that some readers may find unsettling.
