Barry Lancet

Barry Lancet‘s first mystery/thriller JAPANTOWN (Simon & Schuster, Sept. 2013) was selected as a Best Debut of the Year (2013) by Suspense Magazine and mystery critic Oline Cogdill, and has been optioned by J. J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, in association with Warner Bros. The book opens with the perfect murder in San Francisco’s Japantown, with one unreadable clue and no trace of the killer, taking the protagonist from the Bay Area to the darkest corners of Japan. Lancet is based in Tokyo, but spends much of his time stateside in California. Find Lancet on Twitter or Facebook.
