Something is happening at the British School of Kyoto.

A phantom geisha is haunting the halls, a star student is missing, and the campus is covered in mysterious symbols. Why? It’s all because of an ill-fated decision to host a supposedly cursed museum exhibit.

Meet Jessica Hunter, a seasoned globetrotter at sixteen, now reluctantly navigating the corridors of BSK after being uprooted by her parents to yet another country. But when eerie events at the school seize her attention, she forms an unlikely alliance with Kenta Higashi, the football team captain and former friend of the missing student. Together, they plunge into a perilous quest for answers, unravelling a web of rebellion and vengeance.

Who could be the source of this deadly vendetta? And as the danger escalates, can Jessica and Kenta overcome their differences to save the school? This gripping mystery-thriller unveils a dynamic crime-solving duo in a tale that will keep suspense lovers eagerly turning the pages.

From the Publisher

S.J. CULLEN

S.J. Cullen has never murdered anyone, nor has he ever solved a real-life crime. However, he has been an international schoolteacher in Asia, so his stories about Hunter and Higashi, a crime-solving duo who attend a British school in Japan, are not completely pulled out of thin air.

He is originally from the North of England, though now lives in Stellenbosch, a lovely historical town in South Africa. The Hunter and Higashi Mystery series represents an attempt to combine his experiences teaching abroad with a love of thrillers and mysteries.
