"Three DOAs? One arrest? That's not the way we do things, Oshiro. Perhaps you'd feel more at home if I transferred you to Chicago or Detroit."

Aww. Poor Detroit.
That's pretty accurate though. Except for the arrest part. Or cops responding.
As an example, here's Detroit, on New Year's Eve, 2012.

There are parts of this that are so intense I can envision the scene in my head and hear the words they shout, making my heart pound.

So far this is half urban fantasy with a female cop in present-day Tokyo, half historical novel with samurai, all centered around a cursed sword. Bein's Japan feels authentic, which is nice. I could do without the "neh"s at the end of peoples' sentences, but I appreciate the correct name order and that he explains Japanese words without it being cumbersome. Same with honorifics. So ... bonus points for that.
