		Published in 1994, The Togakushi Legend Murders is a suspenseful murder-mystery/detective story, skillfully intertwined with authentic local legends from the Togakushi area of Nagano that provide just enough background and color without disturbing the murders which are the main thrust of the tale.
		The story opens in war-time Togakushi, a small village in Nagano whose main claim to fame is the legendary Maple Demoness, a woman who fed poisoned sake to famed general Taira no Koremochi during the ancient Heiki/Genji conflict.
		Like many small villages, the legend has fed the local economy, preserving sites such as her hidden cave where she served the sake, the Poisoned Plain where the general's body was discovered and her own burial mound.
