	The Dragon Scroll, Hell Screen by I. J. Parker - reviews
		In this third novel in the series, Akitada is sent on special assignment to investigate the disappearance of three yearly tax shipments from Kazusa province, a task he accepts enthusiastically since he thinks it a great honor, and, not incidentally, because it will allow him to travel outside Heian Kyo (Kyoto) for the first time.
		Traveling through the cold countryside by horseback in the "Gods-Absent Month" of November, Akitada is accompanied by an elderly family retainer, Seimei, who ensures that the sometimes impulsive young man observes the niceties of protocol in his dealings with other officials.
		As the action develops, Akitada investigates the death of the retired former governor of the province, whose young and beautiful wife is attracted to Akitada.

		The characters have a cultural mindset entirely dependent on the virtues of honor, discipline, class and courteousness.
		With the help of a bizarre archer’s family, a deaf-mute girl, a woman martial artist and his two colorful comrades, Akitada scours the suspiciously rich Kazusa province and its dark underworld.
		Investigating and uncovering corrupt officials will not please the emperor, nor will it bring honor to his name, yet failing to find the source of the turmoil will only embarrass him.
