Thomas Kies Why Thomas loves this book

Five Decembers was a hard-boiled mystery in the style of Dashiell Hammett that begins just before Pearl Harbor and then was set in Japan throughout the rest of the war. 

In addition to the mystery itself was an improbable love story between the American detective and a Japanese woman who harbored and hid him behind enemy lines. Wonderfully written, it was the book I quite literally couldn’t put down.
