The final mystery in the popular long-running thriller set in 10th century Japan - and the final ever mystery for Lady Shonagon and her Lieutenant Yukinari. The Pillow Book series follows the adventures of Shonagon and Yukinari - an unlikely and compelling duo. Written by Robert Forrest, it captures a strange, magical world - utterly remote yet familiar to our own, because human nature does not change. With the Empress Teishi dead, Lady Shonagon has been banished from the Imperial Palace and separated from her policeman. Under Imperial guard, she is sent back to her only remaining relative, her brother Takai. But there has been no love lost between Shonagon and her brother since they were children, and Shonagon must set out once more on her own in search of her friend Saisho. Meanwhile, the villain Ikiryo walks abroad, and no one is safe. Shonagon ..... Ruth Gemmell, Yukinari ....... Cal MacAninch, Takai ....... Simon Donaldson, Ikiryo .......
